Creamy Macaroni Salad
Creamy Yogurt Macaroni Salad is a delightful and healthier twist on the classic macaroni salad. Featuring a creamy dressing made with low-fat yogurt, the salad is loaded with tender elbow macaroni, crunchy celery, zesty radishes, and fresh chives. A pop of flavor from dill pickles and a hint of tanginess from lemon juice make this dish a perfect side for any gathering or light meal.
