Macaroni Salad
"This is my version of a family recipe for mac salad that was made for all holidays, cookouts, or family get togethers. Traditional, simple, quick, and feeds a crowd. To cut back the fat, use fat-free mayo, whole wheat noodles, skim milk, and only put in the egg whites."

This was a nice pasta salad and one I'd make again. I really liked the addition of the honey mustard. It added both sweetness and a little bit of a bite. I used small shells, red bell peppers in place of the green, and didn't add as much milk as directed. Thank yu for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring Safari Pick A Chef 2013
