Broccoli Macaroni Salad image

This salad was a big hit at a church function I attended. The lady who brought it told me basically what she had done, and I quickly bought the ingredients and fixed the salad myself the next day so I could jot it down and share with you all. Cook time is for cooking the pasta - also allow cooling time for the pasta (at least 30 minutes). Once assembled, the salad neds to chill as well - at least 1 hour before serving.

This salad was a disappointment. The broccoli was tough and the dressing was bland.

This salad is a bit too mayonnaise-y for my taste. I would use less mayonnaise next time.
