Macaroni Salad

This is my take on Amish style macaroni salad.  I have always liked Amish macaroni salad because it was a little sweeter.  In this recipe I decided to use less sugar and add some honey.  The honey really goes well and gives it that honey mustard type of taste.  In this recipe I call for everything to be diced.    You don't have to dice everything but it's just my preference.  I don't like chunky pieces of vegetables in these types of salads.  I think it takes away from the dish.

I made this dish for easter dinner.  It's an easy side dish that can really be made quickly or even a day ahead of time.
