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

- 4 whole green onions , thinly sliced
- 2 stalks celery , diced
