Gram used to serve this as a dip...I got the brilliant idea of mixing with macaroni, and it makes a delicious salad. I'm showing it both ways in added photos. If using as a dip, it's best served the day it's made. Using for a creamy macaroni salad can be kept for a couple days ahead, once refrigerated.. Enjoy!
