While macaroni salad is not usually a favorite of mine, I had some garden veggies that needed using up, and I had each of these ingredients in the pantry/fridge. My family RAVED about this salad! And it came together so simple, I almost felt guilty accepting the compliments. I found the dressing tangy and the veggies added just the right amount of crunch. Because it makes so much, it would be perfect for a potluck or for a crowd. Thanks for sharing!
