When I was young, she often said that she saw me working one day in the culinary field, because my eyes sparkled whenever I discovered new things. Today, I have the pleasure of sharing this passion with you, and it's clearly thanks to my mother.

Preparation
Instructions
0/6
Step 1
Cook the macaroniBoil a large pot of salted water. Cook ½ box of Barilla macaroni until al dente. Drain and immediately cool in cold water. Reserve.
Step 2
Prepare the vegetablesCut the celery, pepper (of your choice), and shallots into small cubes. Grate the carrot. Mix all the vegetables together in a large bowl.
Step 3
AssemblyAdd the cooled macaroni to the vegetables. Add the shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Just before serving, mix in the mayonnaise. This will prevent the salad from becoming watery. Mayonnaise added ahead of time can make the salad too wet. Add it only just before serving.
Step 5
This salad can be prepared in advance (without mayo) and stored in the fridge.
Step 6
For an additional color touch: use a mix of red, orange, and green peppers.
