I love macaroni salad, but wanted something a bit lighter. I looked through a lot of recipes and combined the best of all, and added my special touch--this was a big hit even among folks who don't normally like macaroni salads. The peas are the real surprise.
Ingredients
- 1 package elbow macaroni , 8 ounce
- 4 whole green onions , thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery , diced
- 0.5 large red bell pepper , diced

- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley , or to taste

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse, and transfer to a bowl.
