Macaroni Salad

Recipe Added:  6/21/2012
4 cups elbow macaroni
3 whole roasted red peppers, chopped
1/2 cup black olives, chopped
1/2 cup diced sweet pickles
3 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp white vinegar
3 tsp sugar, more to taste
1/4 tsp salt, more to taste
black pepper
1/4 cup milk (more if needed)
Cook the macaroni in lightly salted water according to pkg directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside. Mix together mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Splash in enough milk to make it pourable. Splash in pickle juice for extra flavor. taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside.

Place cooled macaroni in a large bowl and pour 3/4 of the dressing. Toss and add more dressing if you'd like. Dressing will seem a little thin, but it will thicken up as salad chills. Stir in olives, roasted red peppers (or pimentos), pickles, and green onions. Add more of any ingredient to taste. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
