Easy Sweet and Tangy Macaroni Salad image

My family doesn't like macaroni salad with a lot of mayonnaise. I threw together this recipe one day when I couldn't find one I liked online. It was a huge hit with everyone helping themselves to seconds. I think this recipe would also be great with some hard boiled egg added. You could also try different vegetables such as celery or green pepper according to your taste. The result is a sweet and tangy, not overly creamy or mayonnaise tasting macaroni salad. Great with grilled food!

This macaroni salad is really bland. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper to the dressing.

This macaroni salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the dressing.

This macaroni salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and the salad was even more flavorful.

This macaroni salad is the perfect summer side dish. It's light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. I love the combination of sweet and tangy, and the crunch of the celery and onion adds a nice contrast to the soft macaroni.
