MACARONI SALAD FOR A CROWD image

Categories     Pasta     Side     Vegetarian

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 16-oz package macaroni (I don't use elbow)
1 doz. hard boiled eggs
1 6-oz. can black olives, drained
1 medium red onion
1 10-oz. jar dill pickle relish, partially drained
1 T. prepared yellow mustard, or to taste
1/2 - 1 C. mayonnaise, adjust as needed
salt and pepper to taste
paprika

Steps:

  • Boil macaroni in lightly salted water until al dente (I typically boil the eggs along with the pasta). Drain. Meanwhile, in a food processor, chop up the olives and onion. In a large bowl, mix pasta, chopped olives and onions and partially drained relish. Using a cheese grater, grate 9 of the hard boiled eggs over the bowl. Mix well. Add mustard and mayonnaise, starting off with 1/2 C. mayonnaise and adding more as necessary. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Add a little more mayonnaise if this is not being served until the next day. Slice the remaining 3 eggs and garnish salad, sprinkle with paprika. Can be served immediately or refrigerated.
