Make sure to add a couple of diced hard boiled eggs for flavor!

I liked all the veggies in this macaroni salad, however the "dressing" if you can call it that, fell short. I made it earlier this evening, and just tasted it now that it's chilled, and it has no flavor at all.

Loved this salad. When I didn't have a cucumber, I substituted zucchini. I have also added onion and red pepper at times.
