Making Macaroni Salad

1. Cook macaroni until it's al dente. Avoid overcooking the pasta.
2. Mix dressing ingredients together and chop the veggies to your liking. Note: if you don't enjoy too much crunch finely chop your veggies.
3. Combine the macaroni pasta and dressing together. Add the veggies and mix
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The longer it sits the more time you give all the flavors to come together.

Note: We prefer to enjoy macaroni salad with less mayonnaise. Feel free to adjust to your liking.
