Description

Directions

• Cook the macaroni in salted water for about 12 minutes or until just al dente. You dont want to overcook the macaroni because your salad will be too mushy. The macaroni will continue to absorb moisture from the salad dressing, so a tiny bit underdone would be far preferable to overdone.
• Rinse the cooked macaroni in a colander and allow to drain well for several minutes.
• While the macaroni is draining, add all the other ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk together well.
• Transfer the drained macaroni to the large mixing bowl with the dressing and mix well until all of the macaroni pieces are well coated.
• Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
