This is one of my FAVORITE treats from my childhood, and my adulthood, and just in life in general.My mom and my grandma have been making this for so long I can’t even remember life without it! Its so easy to make and honestly, its not summer until I have had my first bowl of macaroni salad. When David and I went to the farmers market the other weekend I knew that was the perfect time to get all the fresh ingredients I would need to make this top notch summer treat, especially since it is so quick, and easy with only 4 ingredients, you read that right, 4 ingredients. So lets hop to it, so you can drastically improve you summer menu options!
Ingredients:
a few fresh tomatoes chopped
2 fresh green peppers chopped
1 lb of macaroni cooked and cooled
Mayonaise (regular or light or miracle whip) to preference
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook the pasta and let it cool, while you are doing this chop the veggies. Then mix the tomatoes and peppers in with the pasta and top with mayo. I know my dad likes a little more but sometimes I prefer a little less, so its all a matter of preference here. Other options are to just add some olive oil, or a red wine vinegar or something if you and your family are not mayo people OR you are trying to keep it healthy, but this is a great summer treat, especially as these vegetables start to come into season!
Yum!
