Kraft Kitchens Tips

Food Facts

When grating lemon, make sure to only take off the yellow skin since the underlying white layer will add bitterness.

Makeover - How We Did It

We substituted Kraft Calorie-Wise Zesty Italian Dressing for the usual mayonnaise and replaced full-fat cubed cheese with light cheese to give a savings of 160 calories and 24 g fat per serving when compared to traditional macaroni salad.

" I used asiago cheese instead of the cheese called for and added some fresh cilantro (another reviewer had suggested this) it was great!"
