Macaroni Salad

This is a simple macaroni salad, the dressing is much like a coleslaw, so since I can't seem to leave recipes alone I added in some seasonings. I also added in lots of veggies, too much for my liking, so I would recommend adding 2 TBL- 1/4 cup of each. We had this with grilled burgers and grilled corn on the cob. This is a great picnic/BBQ salad.

Cook pasta for about 8 minutes, rinse under cold water and drain. Combine all ingredients except the add ins. Add to the pasta and stir in the add ins. Allow to chill in the refrigerator overnight or a few hours (if the pasta seems to be dried out before serving, stir in a little milk).
