Hot Dog Pasta Salad

• 6 ounces macaroni or 6 ounces other small salad-type pasta
• 5 hot dogs, boiled and sliced in rounds (or smaller bits for young children to avoid choking hazard)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (no substitutes)
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• salt and pepper (may omit)
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced sweet gherkin
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (use both green and white parts) or 1/8 cup chopped yellow onion

1. Cook macaroni according to package directions, just until tender.
2. Drain and rinse well with cold water.
3. Meanwhile, cook hot dogs as desired- grill'em, boil'em or pan-fry; cool enough to handle, then slice into circles.
4. If small children will be eating this, cut the circles in halves or quarters to avoid choking hazards.
5. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and salt & pepper in small bowl.
6. Place hot dogs and pasta in large bowl and add remaining ingredients.
7. Pour dressing over and toss gently with two spoons until all the bits are coated with dressing.
8. Chill for two hours or longer in refrigerator before serving.
