Macaroni Salad
Report
My Macaroni Salad recipe is tossed with fresh, crunchy veggies, a homemade creamy dressing, and my secret ingredient: bacon. It's always a hit at the dinner table on a busy week night, a potluck, or a sunny summertime BBQ.

Notes
- This salad will stay good for 3-5 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It's a perfect recipe for making ahead! I find that when the ingredients have a change to sit together and mingle, it gets even more delicious.
- If you plan on serving this salad for guests or bringing it to a potluck, it will be okay for 2 hours at room temperature before you should put it back in the fridge.
