Add Step-by-Step Photos	Grandmacooks / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago Every time I make my macaroni salad, it's probably a little different. This is how I made it today.

Ingredients

8 ounces elbow macaroni

8 ounce package sharp cheddar cheese crumbles

1/2 cup mayonnaise

10 grape tomatoes

1/2 cup chopped sweet pickles

salt to taste

pepper to taste

Directions

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Mine called for 10 minutes and that is the "cook time" shown.

Drain macaroni and run cool water over it until it cools off. Set your colander over paper towels to drain while you prepare your other ingredients.

Slice tomatoes lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 or 4 pieces.

Chop pickles. Today I used the little tiny whole sweet pickles.

Place drained macaroni in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper as desired.

Add the mayonnaise and stir to coat the macaroni evenly.

Add cheese and mix, then stir in pickles and tomatoes.

Chill at least a couple hours, or overnight if possible.

Stir before serving. Add additional mayonnaise if needed, or additional salt and pepper.

Grandma, this is similar to my own recipe...I use sliced pimento-stuffed green olives in instead of the relish. Problem is, I love it way too much, so I don't make it very often! Good post!
