Finishing fridge cleanout Macaroni Veggie Salad! Ingredient based kitchen!

Описание: Couldn't make one of my favorite hearty salads without having an "Ingredients based kitchen". This was another clean out fridge/freezer salad/meal. This made an epic Macaroni and Veggies Salad!
By the numbers:
I had some macaroni, about 2 cups and boiled it til it was JUST al dente. Secret to decent mac salad is not over cooking the mac!
Leftover green pepper chunks from when a I made my quiche a couple of days ago.
1 small crisp-ish, Roma tomato cut into small chunks
1 stalk of celery small chunks
1 small onion
2 large dill pickles
I had some sweet relish and added 2 tbl for a little pickle sweetness
1/2 cup of frozen peas (I have enough left in bag for another Shepherd's Pie).
1 small carrot, small chunks
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbl yellow mustard
1 heaping tsp sugar
Salt
Pepper
Adjust mayo and mustard and everything to taste. Should look slightly creamy and a little light yellow with lots of veggie color pop!
This can easily be made into a meal with added protein, such as hard-boiled eggs, chicken/turkey chunks, tuna, salmon, small cheese chunks. Served on a bed of fresh lettuce and you have a kitchen clean out salad with a lot of color, nutrition, frugality and taste!
I added it up it all up and the entire salad which without added protein makes 8 full servings, at $3.10 total. That is .41 a serving! Add in a couple eggs and that ups the protein and makes it about .52 a serving!
