Ingredients
- 2/3 bag Salad Macaroni
- 1/2 head Iceburg Lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 3/4 Sweet Onion
- 1 Cucumber
- 1 can Sweet Peas
- 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 2-3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Boil the macaroni in salted water until tender. Drain and place in the refrigerator to chill.
- Cut or tear the lettuce into small, bite size pieces. Dice the tomato, onion and cucumber into small cubes. Note: I like to remove the seeds in the tomato and cucumber to reduce the overall liquid in the salad.
- Drain the sweet peas.
- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, onion, tomato, macaroni and peas. Toss together.
- Add mayonnaise and blend. If it looks dry, add a little more mayonnaise.
- Add the apple cider vinegar. I add about 3 tbsp but I recommend adding it a little at a time and tasting it. Vinegar is one of those ingredients that can become overpowering fast.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Once the salt and pepper is added, taste it again and see if it needs anything. I often tweek it at the end.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and serve.
