Marinated Macaroni Salad

Marinated Macaroni Salad

This is an excellent macaroni salad that everyone in my family has made over the years, and now I make. We have this with dinner at least once a week or every two weeks. It’s a hit with everyone, as there’s ketchup and sugar in it for the kids. Just try it; you’ll LOVE it!
