I first saw this mac 'n' cheese salad recipe in the July 2016 Asda Good Living magazine and have adapted it slightly and made it LOADS of times over the last 5 years!! It's delicious and incredibly moreish...I guess it helps that macaroni cheese is one of my favourite meals. It's a great dish to serve for a buffet, at a BBQ or to take on a picnic. Leftovers are great to enjoy for lunch too.
Tip

Instructions

- Meanwhile, cook the bacon under the hot grill until crispy (around 5 to 6 minutes, turning once). Leave to cool on a plate with kitchen roll, then roughly chop ready for adding at step 4.
