This Cajun Macaroni Salad has been a family favorite almost forever. It started originally with a Justin Wilson recipe but has been modified over the years.
It has just the right amount of zing – definitely not yo’ mama’s macaroni salad!
The dressing is so good with just the right amount of zing to it. It definitely tastes better the second day!
