Macaroni Salad
Ingredients
one pound elbow macaroni
1/2 sweet onion
two stalks celery, green part only
one cup mayonnaise
three tablespoons white vinegar
one teaspoon celery seed
4-6 large hard-boiled eggs
Directions
Boil the eggs and cook the pasta the way you normally do.
When the pasta is done and you have drained it in a collander,
mix it under cold running water until it is completely cool.
If you use your hand to mix it, you'll be able to tell when it's cooled down.
While the pasta is cooking, dice the onion and celery.
Add one cup of prepared mayonnaise to the cooked macaroni then
Add the onion, celery, vinegar and celery seed and mix well.
Scoop down along the side using a silicone or rubber spatula, and lift from the center.
Dice four of the eggs, add to cooked macaroni,
Mix again, gently so you don't mash up the egg.
You want both the white and yellow bits to stay whole.
A note about personal taste
The macaroni will soak up a lot of the mayonnaise overnight.
I usually add more when I'm having leftovers.
