      Oh my, that looks so delicious. I don't know why I don't think to add dry fruit to my pasta salads. It sounds heavenly.

      Catherine, Very interesting macaroni salad! I generally find these salads to be too bland for my taste...but the cranberries, garlic, lemon and lemon zest...would appear to give this version a flavor pop! Thanks for the recipe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
