Fast, Easy, Delicious Macaroni Salad - Even Your Kids Will Love image

Steps:

  • Boil noodles like you normally would do. Until done. Drain the noodles. Put them in a large bowl and put in the fridge to cool. (Faster prep: Run them under cold water until cool then let sit so all of the water will drain).
  • Mince pickles and black olives. (Faster & easier prep: Buy dill pickle relish and already chopped black olives).
  • Chop green onions.
  • After noodles are cool add mayonnaise (more or less to taste) & mustard (optional) and mix together.
  • Add pickle, olives, & green onions and mix. (Can use more or less. I personally like a lot of pickles and little onion & olives).
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put in the fridge to chill. (Sometimes you may need to add more mayo when ready to serve).
  • Add the cheese when you are serving. (I let everybody add as much as they want. Makes it fun for the kids).

1 lb elbow macaroni
4 -5 tablespoons dill pickles, minced
2 -3 tablespoons black olives, minced
2 -3 tablespoons green onions, chopped (to taste)
1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise (add more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard (optional)
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
1 -2 lb shredded cheddar cheese (to taste)
