I liked this very much for a change of pace. I usually like my macaroni salad sweet and creamy. This was easy and I had all the ingredients on hand, except I used frozen peas and carrots rather than frozen peas.

This is a classic tasty macaroni and pea salad recipe. I didnt have celery on hand, and used varying amounts of pasta, peas, onion, and cheese, but the same dressing amounts. It can be kind of bland so I'd like to try it with more seasonings.
