Instructions

  1. Bring large pot of water to boil. Salt water generously and pour in pasta. Stir and cook 7-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain pasta and rinse under cold water until cold.
  2. Place cooled pasta into large bowl (with a lid) and top with chopped veggies. 
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, and seasonings together until everything is well combined.
  4. Add mayonnaise mixture into the bowl with pasta and vegetables and stir until everything is well coated. If it doesn't seem like there's enough mayonnaise to go around, add in a splash of water or a little more mayonnaise. Taste for seasonings and adjust as desired.
  5. Refrigerate macaroni salad until ready to serve (the longer the better). Serve chilled.
