GRANDMA'S MACRONI SALAD
Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) package salad macaroni (or ditali pasta)
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup red onion, diced
1 cup yellow onion or white onion, diced
1 cup medium cheddar, diced
1 cup swiss cheese, diced
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup dill pickles, diced
1 cup salami, diced
1 cup black olive, drained and diced or sliced
1/2 teaspoon horseradish
1-2 tablespoon garlic salt
1-2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1-2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 (3 ounce) jar diced pimentos, rinsed and drained
1-1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Directions
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until it is al dente, approximately 7-9 minutes. DO NOT OVERCOOK the pasta or it will fall apart when the salad is tossed together. Rinse macaroni until cool. Drain well and let it dry out slightly. Place pasta in a large bowl. Carefully fold in celery, onion, cheddar, Swiss cheese, Parmesan, dill pickles, salami, and black olives. Refrigerate the mixture, covered, overnight (or refrigerate for at least 2 hours). Mix the garlic salt, minced garlic, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard and celery salt together. Add to the salad.
Fold in pimentos. Mix 1 cup of mayonnaise and horseradish; fold into the salad. (You may use up to another 1/2 cup mayonnaise, if needed) Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

this is a fast one...boil pasta and drain well, add 1 small (8-12 oz jar) of drained and chopped (to preference) gardenera (pickled veggies) and 1/2 c. shredded cheese (cheddar is good, so is provalone), mix, season w favorite seasoning blend and enough miracle whip or mayo to your favorite consistancy (1/2 c. to start for 1 lb. pasta) and chill well! also good w some thawed frozen peas added.
