For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding a finely diced red bell pepper or a sprinkle of fresh dill. If you prefer a tangier dressing, increase the amount of white vinegar to taste. To make this salad even healthier, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the low-fat mayonnaise. Make sure the macaroni is completely cooled before mixing it with the other ingredients to prevent the salad from becoming soggy. This salad is best served chilled. The flavors deepen as it sits, so it's a great make-ahead dish.
