Sweet Macaroni Salad

This amazing weather the past few days has us spending more time outside playing and grilling. We grill year round at my house, and almost nightly when the weather is nice. I like to keep side simple, and this pasta salad is the perfect side dish. My whole family loves it and I often get requests for the recipe when I take it places. It makes the perfect amount for a potluck!
