Mom's Macaroni Salad image

This is the salad my Mom has always made for us. It is zippy yet almost sweet. It is not the traditional creamy style but is made with a vinaigrette instead. It never hangs around very long at our place!

I'm allergic to mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead in this recipe. It turned out great! The salad was still creamy and delicious.

This macaroni salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually add whatever I have on hand, such as chopped carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
