Warm macaroni salad with greens and tomato
This shelf holds a ready-made macaroni salad that's best served warm, so we'll heat it through and stretch it with fresh greens and tomato for a light but filling weeknight dinner. The cheese, mayo, and mustard from the mix become sauce for wilted spinach and bright tomato pieces.
