Mom's Macaroni Salad image

This is the salad my Mom has always made for us. It is zippy yet almost sweet. It is not the traditional creamy style but is made with a vinaigrette instead. It never hangs around very long at our place!

I found this macaroni salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper to taste.

This macaroni salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or omitting it altogether.

This macaroni salad is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it the night before a party or picnic so that the flavors have time to meld.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based salads. But I was pleasantly surprised! This macaroni salad is light and flavorful, and the mayonnaise is not overpowering.
