Creamy Waldorf Macaroni Salad

When we talk about gatherings, we normally think about foods that can satisfy our guests to the fullest. This is my favorite food which I made for my birthday. Give your Waldorf Salad a twist by adding macaroni pasta into it. Enjoy the robust taste with your family and friends. Serves eight – 10 persons.

3 pieces Green Apples, cored & cubes
3 pieces Red Apple, cored & cubes

¼ cup White Refined Sugar (or to taste)
3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
3 tablespoons Orange Juice
2 cups Whipped Cream
1 ½ kg uncooked Macaroni pasta
1 ½ cup grated or diced cheddar cheese
