Recipe from Craig.

 

1 pkg. (16 oz.) salad macaroni (or ditali pasta)

1 cup celery, diced

1 cup red onion, diced

1 cup yellow or white onion, diced

1 cup cheddar cheese, diced

1 cup Swiss cheese, diced

1/2 cup Parmesan, grated

1 cup dill pickles, diced

1 cup hard salami, diced

1 can (6 oz.) large pitted black olives, drained, sliced (or 1 cup)

1 to 2 TB Lawry's garlic salt

1 to 2 TB fresh minced garlic

1/4 tsp. horseradish

1/2 tsp. ground white pepper

1 to 2 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, optional

1/2 tsp. dry mustard

1/2 tsp. celery salt

1 jar (3 oz.) diced pimentos, rinsed and drained

1 to 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise

 

Add 2 quarts of water to a medium stock pot and bring to a boil. Add macaroni

and cook until it is al dente, approximately 8 minutes. Rinse macaroni under

cold running water until cool. Drain well and let it dry out slightly.

 

Add pasta to a large bowl. Fold in remaining ingredients and toss lightly.

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours. It's better to refrigerate

overnight.
