Graduation Macaroni Salad image

Put this colorful creamy combination into the mix of dishes at your next get-together-and watch it disappear fast! Radishes, cucumber, green pepper and onion lend fresh garden flavor to the macaroni mixture. Remarks Edie DeSpain of Logan, Utah. "It also makes a nice light meal on a hot summer day." (For best results, unmold the salad just before serving.)

This salad is a great way to use up leftover macaroni. I always have some leftover after making a big batch of spaghetti and meatballs, so I'll use it to make this salad the next day.

I love that this recipe can be customized to your liking. I like to add extra cheese and bacon, and sometimes I'll even throw in some chopped hard-boiled eggs.
