Instead of the traditional macaroni and potato salads, this is a great alternative. It always goes over really well with the people that I serve it to. I like to make this for potlucks and social events over just eating it at home just because it makes so much. If I want to make this at home, I will cut the recipe in half just so that I don’t have a ton of leftovers. It will stay good in the fridge for about a day with the lettuce, so just be mindful of that little tidbit! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Food.com:
