Macaroni salad is a must at summer cookouts. This version is made with simple ingredients and similar to what you’d pick up at a deli. There’s enough crunch and flavor from all the fresh veggies. The pasta and veggies are coated in a sweet and creamy dressing that has the right amount of tang to balance the flavors. A little sweeter than most salads like this, it reminds us of a Hawaiian macaroni salad. The key to the dressing is using good mayonnaise.
