My Mom's Olive Macaroni Salad

Labor day may have come & gone, and I am no longer wearing white shoes, but I refuse to give up BBQs until at least the first foot of snow. Here is my Mom's macaroni salad recipe

Package of elbow macaroni
1 green pepper
4 stalks of celery
1 jar of olives, the size depends on your taste. However to save money, buy salad olives

Cook macaroni according to package directions
Cut pepper and celery into small chunks
Drain macaroni and allow to cool. Place chopped veggies on top of macaroni in a collander.
Drain olive juice over veggies and macaroni. The slice up olives and to mixture and add mayo to taste.

The secret here is to drain the olive juice over the veggies and macaroni. They absorb the flavor and gives the salad a wonderful, different flavor.

Even folks that pick out the olives love the salad, so give it a try.
