Introduction

My favorite way to eat macaroni salad. This side dish is not sweet and it is full of summer memories. You can use whatever type of pasta is your favorite. My favorite way to eat macaroni salad.

Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    6 ounces Ditalini Pasta
    3/4 cup Kraft Mayo w/ Olive Oil, reduced fat mayonnaise
    2 tsp Dijon Mustard
    1.5 oz Dill Pickle, diced
    10 Black Olives, medium and pitted, chopped
    2 sprigs Dill weed, fresh, chopped
    2 tbsp chopped Fresh Chives
    2 stalks celery, diced
    2 oz Kirkland Sharp Cheddar Cheese, cubed
    1 tsp Salt
    1 tsp black pepper

Tips

Add your favorite pasta and chopped veggies.


Directions

Fill and heat water in a large pot to boiling. Once water has begun to boil, cook your desired pasta according to directions on package. Once cooked til al dente, turn off stove and drain pasta. Rinse pasta with cool water to stop the cooking process.

Chop pickles, olives, cheese, dill, chives, and celery. Set aside.

Add pasta to a large bowl and gently mix in the pepper, mayo and mustard. Add in your chopped ingredients and combine. Taste and add salt to your desired taste. I splash in some of the dill pickle juice first before adding salt as I find I don't need to add salt when I do this.

Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two and then enjoy!
