A few months ago I needed a recipe for macaroni salad to take to a company camp-out. So I googled and this was the first one that comes up. Its an extremely easy and very tasty pasta dish. I left a few things out from the original recipe but you can add whatever sort of vegetables you would like to this and Im sure it would still be awesome. Something like this I want to keep simple when Im making it.
Original Recipe from Allrecipes
4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni( I used ditalini this time)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup white sugar*
2 1/2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
Cook your macaroni in salted water until they are just done. Dump into a strainer and shock them with cold water to stop the cooking process. Dont want to end up with soggy pasta.
In a large bowl mix together you mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Chop onion and pepper and add to bowl. Then dump in the macaroni and stir to combine. Stick in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
* I cut the sugar from the original in half. It was way to sweet for me with the full 2/3.
