Macaroni Coleslaw Salad! Two classic salads, macaroni salad and coleslaw all in one! Quick and easy recipe that will be perfect for your next potluck!

Spring is in the air!  I can feel it!  And with that comes potlucks, holiday gatherings, neighborhood barbecues and many other events you may need to bring a side or salad to share, right?  This Macaroni Coleslaw Salad in the perfect blend of two classic salads.  Can’t decide between macaroni salad or coleslaw?  Now you can have both!  How great is that! This recipe is really easy and you’ll be surprised how tasty it is!

While the pasta boils for the macaroni salad part, prepare the dressing and get all the vegetables sliced, chopped and ready for the coleslaw part of this salad.

Once the pasta is done, drain, and cool with cold water until it is completely cooled.  Stir the vegetables and pasta together.

Pour the dressing over the macaroni coleslaw salad and mix well.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.  I like to give this a good stir after it has been in the fridge for a couple of hours just to make sure the dressing is mixed in really well.
