As a kid growing up, it seemed like whenever our family got together for the holidays or birthdays, my grandmother and then my mom in the later years always made macaroni salad. I don't think I had made macaroni salad for 15 years and just thought to make it this past Mothers Day.
There's just something simply awesome about the combination of chopped sweet pickles, chopped black olives, diced red onion and chopped Italian parsley. The macaroni salad turned out great, everyone seemed to like it and I'll definitely have to make this again soon.

Ingredients:
1 pound Barilla Ditalini pasta
1/4 cup chopped bread and butter pickles
1/4 cup chopped black olives
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/8 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/4 light mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Prepare the pasta per the directions, rinse in cold water and set a side to drain. Place the pasta in a large mixing bowl. Add the pickles, olives, red onion, Italian parsley and mayonnaise. Mix well, add a couple grinds of salt and pepper. This recipe is always better the next day, but if you can't make ahead of time try to make as early in the day as possible. Here's to old school classic macaroni salad.
