Instructions
Slice and dice all the salad ingredients except the macaroni.
Cook macaroni to al dente (just cooked, but still slightly firm) and run with cold water to stop cooking and keep the noodles from sticking together.
Add macaroni and all salad ingredients together and stir well.
Mix the salad dressing together and pour over the rest of the salad. Stir well.
Refrigerate at least 3 hours prior to serving, overnight is even better to help the flavors mix well.
