Classic Macaroni Salad

It is safe to say Macaroni Salad is one of my husband’s favorite foods, which sent me on a mission to create a recipe that checks all of the boxes for the perfect macaroni salad - this one is light, yet creamy, tangy and crunchy! Its a classic, and it’s perfect for Summer BBQs!
