How To Make the best macaroni salad

  • 1
    bring a large pan of salted water to a boil, add macaroni and cook until done, I go right along with the package
  • 2
    Once macaroni is done drain it in a colander, and lightly sprinkle with the Italian salad dressing. This flavors the macaroni and will also keep in from sticking together.
  • 3
    add all your diced vegetables, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go, then add your mayonnaise to taste. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow all the flavors to marry.
