Macaroni Salad

Ingredients

• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 1 teaspoon cooking oil (optional)
• 2-3 eggs
• 1/2 sweet onion, chopped (vidalia is best)
• 1-2 stalk celery, chopped
• 1/3-1/2 cup bread and butter pickles, chopped
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 3-4 tablespoons mayonnaise (or more if you like)

Directions

1. 1

   Cook 2 cups of macaroni according to the directions on the package. I add about 1 teaspoon cooking oil and some salt to keep macaroni from sticking together.

2. 2

   While the macaroni is cooking, in another pan hardboil 2 or 3 eggs (sometimes I just rinse the eggs and put them in with the macaroni).

3. 3

   Drain the cooked macaroni, and put in large bowl.

4. 4

   Peel the hard boiled eggs, chop them up and add to macaroni. Also add the onion, celery and pickles. To keep the macaroni sorta moist, I pour a little bit of the pickle juice in-- about a tablespoon.

5. 5

   Mix in mustard, celery salt, pepper, and mayo. If it seems too dry, add more mayo until you like the mixture--not soppy but not dry. You will know!

6. 6

   Chill before serving. Enjoy!
