Recipe Notes
- Macaroni can be swapped for any short pasta.
- Rinsing the pasta after draining stops it from cooking so it doesn’t get mushy and keeps it from being sticky.
- The dressing can be swapped for a bottled dressing of your choice or even coleslaw dressing. Add dash of vinegar, a pinch of sugar and a spoonful of sweet relish if you have it.
- Dress the salad generously as the pasta will soak up some of the dressing as it sits.
- Ensure add-ins are diced fairly small.
- Change up the add ins to your liking, pickles, boiled eggs or diced veggies are great in this recipe.
