For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of pickle relish or a splash of apple cider vinegar. To prevent the macaroni from sticking together, toss it with a little olive oil after draining. This salad is best served chilled. Feel free to make it a day ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
