Best macaroni salad I have ever had!

I didn't have relish so I just added pickle juice and wasn't sure how it would taste with the mustartd but it was fine.

Easy and healthy - will definitely make again!

This salad was the best macaroni salad that I have tasted! I will never buy the store salad's. I also did not add the 1/4 teaspoon of salt and it still tasted great! Thanks..
