Macaroni Salad

This salad can be made up to 1 day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator. The flavors will meld and improve after 2-4 hours of chilling. Before serving, stir in 2-4 tablespoons additional mayonnaise to refresh the texture, as the pasta will absorb some dressing during storage.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salad is best served within 24 hours for optimal texture. If the salad appears dry after storage, fold in additional mayonnaise and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.
