Macaroni Salad image

Excellent creamy pasta side dish with crunch from celery and apple chunks. Make this dish the night before to accompany a picnic lunch. When packing for a picnic lunch I find it easy to store the salad in a large Ziploc bag, it leaves more room in the cooler for other goodies this way.
