Classic Pimento Rice

• 4 cups cooked rice (I prefer long grain, but use anything you want)
• 6 scallions, fine chopped (whites and green)
• 1 celery rib, leaves included very fine diced
• 2 (4 ounce) jars pimientos, un-drained (diced)
• 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 pinch celery salt
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• salt
• pepper

1. Rice -- Cook the rice according to package directions.
2. Pimento Mix -- Add the remaining ingredients to the rice and mix well. I start out with 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise, if you prefer it creamier you can add more. I prefer it less creamy, but that is just my taste. Put it back on low heat for 1-2 minutes, just to heat everything through.Taste again for any additional seasoning, salt or pepper.
3. Serve -- ENJOY! No garnish needed, this is just a nice comforting side dish.
