Macaroni Cole Slaw

This Macaroni Cole Slaw is a very nice, cool, crunchy, creamy salad folks! I loved that it combined two favorite side dishes and the cucumber was a tasty addition. Unfortunately I didn't have the water chestnuts, but I think they would have been great! This salad is substantial enough for an everyday meal and different enough for a holiday meal. With natural various shades of green, orange and white... I might dye the pasta a light yellow if serving this salad for Easter:@) Pasta dying technique HERE.

Why not whip up a batch the next time you make fried or BBQ chicken and call it dinner:@)
