Hard Boiled Eggs Part 2- Macaroni Salad

I thought I'd share another favorite around here using some of those hard boiled eggs. While I don't exactly use a recipe, I'll do my best to give you some estimated measurements.  This is your creation so make it to your taste.  Anyway, recipes are just recommendations, right?

Macaroni Salad 
In a large bowl:
Begin with 2 cups of dry  macaroni cooked- but not overcooked

Add:
Some chopped onion, and celery
 Several hard boiled  eggs, chopped.  Reserve a few for garnish
(Feel free to add anything else you desire.  My mom adds pimento for some color)









To make Macaroni Salad my own, I add some small pieces of chopped up cheddar cheese.
I used white cheese because that is what I had.  However yellow cheese will add more color.




Macaroni Dressing
Mix together:
Begin with about 1 1/2-2 cups of Mayonnaise  (My family insists on Hellmanns)
add 2/3 c. of sugar and 2/3 c. vinegar
a squirt of yellow mustard




add the secret ingredient............horseradish
 Start with a small amount, add more if desired.  





Pour dressing over Macaroni.


Add some salt (or celery salt) and coarse pepper to taste.

Garnish with sliced Hard Boiled Eggs and sprinkle with Paprika!

 ENJOY!!
