Refreshing Macaroni Salad

Recipe Introduction


This is loaded with veggies and once made, makes enough for the entire neighborhood. (equal parts of the mayo and Miracle Whip is a key thing; if you just use one or the other it won't be the same)

List of Ingredients




1 box elbow macaroni, cooked and cooled and drained until dry
fresh tomatoes, diced
cucumbers, sliced and then cut in 1/4's
radishes, sliced
green pepper, diced
carrots, sliced
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped small (key ingredient)

SAUCE:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
about 1 TBS apple cider vinegar
about 1 TBS sugar
salt and lots of black pepper

Recipe



Mix the sauce together. Let it sit about 30 minutes then taste it. Adjust the vinegar/sugar if needed.

Mix the sauce in with the veggies and macaroni. You may want to not use all of it at first.

If making ahead of time try putting the sauce on right before serving 'cause it really soaks into the macaroni.

I will usually mix 1/2 in at first and then right before serving mix in other half.
