1 pound chicken breast
1 pound macaroni
1 cup shredded carrots
2 bell peppers
1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup red onion
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Combine diced onion, celery, carrots, and peppers in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chilled cooked macaroni and shredded chicken. Stir to combine the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.
