Instructions
Cook the macaroni in a large pot of salted boiling water until just tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cool water.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Combine the cooled pasta with the dressing and add the bell pepper, corn, and green onion. Toss to coat evenly.
For best flavor, chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Tip: Letting the salad chill allows the flavors to meld and improves the overall taste.
