Story
|
There are a lot of varieties to the good ol' macaroni salad, but this one is a nice classic. It doesn't stray too far from the simple garden ingredients of tomatoes, onions and cucumbers which makes it kind of nostalgic. The simple mayonnaise and vinegar also gives it that old fashioned appeal. Grandma will like this one!
