Macaroni Salad

Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 5:26 pm

Ingredients:
------------
1 1/2 boxes of creamettes macaroni (this makes a huge dish full -
unless you have a large family you may want to use less
macaroni)
1 medium-sized onion, chopped up

Cut up vegetables:
------------------
celery
carrots
cucumber
green peppers
radishes
tomatoes
any other fresh vegetable you want to add
miracle whip (to taste)
sweet pickle relish (to taste)

Instructions:
-------------
Cut up vegetables.

Cook macaroni according to instructions on package EXCEPT cook it LONGER
than package says so that pieces of macaroni are soft (not mushy but
good and soft).

Cool macaroni a tiny bit so that it is warm, not hot. (I do this by
repeatedly pouring cool water on it and draining it)

Drain macaroni. Pour into a large dish. Add cut up vegetables - the
more vegetables the better. Add chopped onion to taste. Add Miracle
Whip to taste.

Add sweet pickle relish to taste (for 1 1/2 packages of macaroni my
family likes it best when I use about 1/2 jar of relish)

Mix ingredients (I mix each ingredient immediately after adding it)
Refrigerate until it is cold and serve
