Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of generously salted water to boil and cook macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside to cool completely. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking together too badly.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all of the dressing ingredients and whisk together until smooth. Add vegetables and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until pasta is cool.
  3. Once pasta is cooled, stir pasta into the dressing. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • *If you don't have green onions, you can use a tablespoon of very finely diced white or yellow onion.
  • If making in advance, stir an extra spoonful of mayonnaise into the pasta just before serving as the pasta will absorb some of the liquid as it sits and start to look a little dry, even tightly covered.
