Vegan Macaroni Salad

Jyoti's Tasty Tip:

This salad was not on my list when I started collecting salads for our salad case. I find this simple and unchallenging. I want something "complicated" and edgy in taste. But anyway, all of you won and taught me something. And that is, you want something comforting and definitely simple.

Remember, it's all about the taste!   Chef Jyoti                                                                             Click image to enlarge
