Macaroni Salad For A Crowd
- 1 package Salad Macaroni (16 Oz)
- 1 jar Dill Pickle Relish (10 Oz)
- 1 whole Red Onion (medium Size)
- 1 can Black Olives (6 Oz)
- 8 whole Eggs, Hard-Boiled
- 2 Tablespoons Yellow Mustard, Or To Taste
- 1 cup Mayonnaise (Or To Taste)
- Cook macaroni in boiling, salted water until done; rinse in cool water, drain well and put into a LARGE bowl. I don't prefer al dente in macaroni salad, but you're in charge here!
- Drain the olives. Roughly chop the onion. Then use a food processor on the olives and onions to get a very fine mince, and dump them into the bowl with the drained macaroni. Dump the whole jar of relish, including the juice, into the bowl as well. I use the large holes on a box grater for the hard boiled eggs and shred them directly over the bowl. At this point I thoroughly combine all the ingredients in the bowl.
- Squirt about 2 tablespoons of mustard in, and add about a cup of mayo. You will have to play around with the measurements here to get the consistency and flavor you want. I'm pretty sure I use more than one cup but I didn't want to scare anyone off. Please note that the longer it's in the fridge, the drier it will get.
- Once you get the consistency you like, add salt and pepper to taste, remembering that the dill relish/juice already adds some saltiness.
- Now I would typically transfer the salad into a serving bowl and top with additional sliced hard boiled eggs and paprika because I'm old school like that. But presentation is up to you!
- Please feel free to experiment with ingredients that suit your, and your family's, tastes.
