This is an excellent macaroni salad that everyone in my family has made over the years, and now I make. We have this with dinner at least once a week or every two weeks. It's a hit with everyone, as there's ketchup and sugar in it for the kids. Just try it; you'll LOVE it!

This is a tasty salad. You do not have to use all the macaroni at once, just keep it in the fridge and add the veggie's and mayo when you are ready to serve it. You can go wild with add ins, I like frozen peas, shredded cheddar etc.
