Macaroni salad can go one of two ways: it can be a heavy, bland side dish or a creamy, addicting one. This recipe, stuffed with ham and cheese and flavored with sweet relish, definitely falls under the second category.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I took it to a church potluck. People overlooked the store bought salads to eat mine.
