Make ahead Tip:

• Can I make the macaroni salad ahead of time? Absolutely! Make sure to store macaroni salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. If it seems a little dry from the macaroni absorbing the dressing, add a little more mayo until creamy. Macaroni salad will be good, if stored properly in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days
