Joe, I know you hear all the time, but if you are ever bored, this summer Macaroni salad really does work. Its been passed down in my family for over 60 years now. The olives/asparagus/eggs work, I swear..

Anyways, have fun Chef

SouthernJet Macaroni Salad, aka SouthernJet Caviar

Ingredients:

NOTE: We use 2 lbs. of macaroni , instead of the recipes listed 1/2 lb, and then increase other ingredients accordingly. We fill a 8 QT. bowl.

1. 1/2 lb. small macaroni elbows

2. 1 16 oz. can asparagus spears, drained and cut into 1 inch pieces (warning - if using only tips, they dont hold up well when folding into salad)

3. Green Olives, halved. Use as many as according to personal taste.

4. Hard boiled eggs, quartered. Use as many as according to personal taste.

5. Cherry tomatoes. Use as many as according to personal taste.

6. Mayonnaise

7. Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Prepare macaroni per directions on box

2. Drain into colander and rinse with cold water, let drain

3. Add enough mayo to moisten. (Be careful, you can always add more mayo, so dont put too much in first)

4. Gently Add and stir in remaining ingredients to taste

5. Add additional mayo if mixture appears to dry

6. Put in fridge. After several hours or next day, additional mayo may be required if salad appears or tastes dry.

Again, a reminder:

NOTE: We use 2 lbs. of macaroni , instead of the recipes listed 1/2 lb, and then increase other ingredients accordingly. We fill a 8 QT. bowl.
