4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
2/3 cup white sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup grated carrot (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped pimento peppers (optional)

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain.
In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in the onion, celery, green pepper, carrot, pimentos and macaroni. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving, but preferably overnight.

These are "eye-balls"

1 box farfalle
1 bottle of Ken's Peppercorn Ranch
1 pint of grape tomatoes (or cherry)
1 container of goat cheese
grilled chicken (or no meat)

boil pasta, add about 1/2 the container of goat cheese and 1/2 the bottle of dressing. Mix in the tomatoes and chicken (and red onion if you like)

Refrigerate for an hour. Add more dressing/cheese if you want after it has settled.

I have made pasta salad from scratch for family gatherings several times, but the one that gets the best reviews is the boxed Suddenly Salad Ranch & Bacon mix from the supermarket! Eveyone raves about it! Go figure!

Re: easy cream pasta salad/macaroni salad?

I don't have a specific recipe. If you like olives you will like this.


1 box of elbows
1 purple onion chopped
1 Red Pepper
1 Green pepper
1 can of Black olives
1 jar of green olives
Mayo
Salt & Pepper
Onion Powder

I cook the elbows let them cool add mayo, cut up the olives and onions and peppers. Mix together add Mayo salt & pepper and onion powder to taste. Let sit in fridge for about 5 hours to get nice and cold. May need to add more mayo before serving.
