Ranch Macaroni Salad for Kids image

An easy to make macaroni salad that your kids will eat! The key is to mince the veggies so they don't even know they are there. Of course, if your kids like their vegetables, double the dressing and go ahead and throw in some blanched broccoli.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover macaroni. I also like to add some chopped celery and carrots for extra crunch.
