Plain old macaroni salad! This is how WE like it.

Ingredients:

4 Hard cooked large eggs
2 C (dry) Pasta shapes (I used ditilini and elbows because that's all that was in the cupboard)
1/4 C Finely slices celery
1/4 C Shredded carrots
1/4 C Finely diced sweet onion (optional)
2 T (heaping) Sweet pickle relish
1 C (+/_) Miracle Whip or Hellman's Mayo or 50/50 mix of each
Salt & Pepper to taste

Method:

Put eggs in a sauce pan and fill with water to cover the eggs and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and leave covered for 15 minutes. Then cool the eggs by running under cold water and filling pan with ice cubes. Peel shells when cool to the touch, then dice 3 eggs and put in bowl. Reserve one egg to slice and decorate top of salad.

Cook macaroni al dente then run under cold water to stop cooking. When cool throw in the bowl.

Add remaining ingredients, mix thoroughly and adjust flavor with salt & pepper. Top with sliced hard cooked egg. May garnish with parsley and dust top of salad with light coating of paprika.

NOTE: Volumes of ingredients are estimates only, and are subject to your individual tastes. Mayo is most subjective as some folks like a little mayo while others like to have the pasta swimming in the mayo.

Enjoy!
