Coditos (Spanish Macaroni Salad)

Macaroni salad is a wonderful side dish that is mostly popular during summertime barbecues. It’s also very popular at Puerto Rican family get togethers. You can add any variations of vegetables you’d like or switch out the mayonnaise for Ranch dressing to make it your own. Either way this is a showstopper at any party or on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
