Steps:
- 1. Cook macaroni to package directions. (do not overcook it will flatten the macaroni)
- 2. While that is happening, prepare all the vegetables.
- 3. Cool the macaroni. When the macaroni is finished cooking, pour off the hot water and immediately add very cold water to macaroni to stop the cooking process. You can either add some ice to the pot and stir the macaroni until chilled or you can pour off again and add more cold water. I find adding ice cubes the best method.
- 4. When the macaroni is cool and drained, mix all the ingredients, except tomatoes, in a large bowl.
- 5. When you have finished mixing thoroughly and have added the correct amount of salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and fold them in gently so you do not end up with pink salad. Or you can sprinkle them over the top for a decorative touch.
