I was inspired by this recipe for macaroni salad because we usually buy it in cans. After eating it so many times, we got tired of it and wanted to try something new. I figured it couldn’t be that hard to make my own, and after a few tries, I succeeded. This recipe for macaroni salad is exactly the refreshing summer side dish we wanted.
