Put this colorful creamy combination into the mix of dishes at your next get-together—and watch it disappear fast! Radishes, cucumber, green pepper and onion lend fresh garden flavor to the macaroni mixture. Remarks Edie DeSpain of Logan, Utah. It also makes a nice light meal on a hot summer day.

1/2 cup chopped green pepper |
1/2 cup chopped radishes |
2 tablespoons chopped onion |

1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish |
1 tablespoon prepared mustard |
lettuce leaves and additional radishes |
