Mediterranean Macaroni Salad

Macaroni Salad is always a welcomed side to any nice cut of meat or just something yum to eat on its own. Instead of eating the typical cheese macaroni salad you see in containers at supermarkets or at chicken joints, try this recipe instead to see if you enjoy it with a little more zip!

2 1/2 cups Macaroni

3/4 cup Light Mayo

1/2 cup diced Sun-dried tomatoes

1/2 cup diced Black olives

1/2 cup chopped Artichoke hearts (marinated, in oil)

2 tbsp Basil

2 tbsp Oregano
1 tbsp Red chilli pepper flakes

1 tbsp Garlic powder

2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Bring 1 litre of water to boil and let macaroni cook in water for 8-10 minutes. Drain, add macaroni to large bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Mix well and serve hot or cold.
