Whole Wheat Macaroni Salad

Sky Hostess's Note:

This recipe is a combination of some really good macaroni salads. I love macaroni salad but I never buy it - too soupy in the stores and I hardly make it - I couldn't find a good recipe. We really liked this one. It has lots of veggies in it too - lots of crunch!
