How To Make sweet n tangy macaroni salad
-
1Cook pasta in salted water for required time on package directions. Drain and rinse well. Place all salad ingredients in a large serving bow and toss well.
-
2Place all dressing ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well, until well blended. I now, taste dressing to see if it needs any additional seasonings.
-
3Pour dressing over pasta and toss, making sure all is coated well. I save an eggs and slice to place on top of salad for garnish. Sprinkle with paprika for color. Refrigerate to chill for a good 2 hours or until ready to serve. As with any salad, they get better the longer the ingredients have time to mingle. Enjoy!
