Macaroni Salad:

* The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of minced garlic. I checked with Butterball and they said this is correct! Although I LOVE garlic, this seems like a lot to me. You might want to tone it down a bit. 😉
This recipe says it serves 12. I think its skimpy for 12 but I think it would easily feed 6-8 people. You could cut down on the ingredients for your family of 4.
