AUNT TONY'S MACARONI SALAD
Nothing screams 4th of July more than fireworks and macaroni salad! Growing up in a large extended family, it was common to expect certain things when coming together. On the table one would always find: 1) fresh veggies like granddad's peas or beans, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers from his garden 2) a big bowl of home canned peaches, pears or apricots and 3) an obscenely huge bowl of Aunt Tony's Macaroni Salad. The celery seed is the ingredient that pushes this recipe over the top wow! This creamy, easy to make salad is the best! I am sure your family will love it just as much as ours.

Steps:
- Hard boil peel and dice eggs.
- Boil 1/2 lb. elbow macaroni 8 to 10 minutes (1/2 lb. will feed 6-8). (Note: a full 1 lb. box will make enough for 16-20 people)
- Drain macaroni in a colander and rinse under cold water. Allow the macaroni to cool completely before adding the other ingredients. I don't know why but my cousin Judy said this makes a big difference so I did it.
- Add chopped eggs, pimentos, celery seed and mayo. Mix together. It should be creamy. Add a tablespoon of cream at a time if needed to make moist to your taste.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Optional: Pour into a pretty dish and top with a light shake of paprika to give color.
SUMMERTIME MACARONI SALAD ALA AUNT MAX
I grew up eating this simple macaroni salad at every summer gathering that we had. It is very easy and tastes wonderful. The great thing about this is that it becomes the base for so many full meal recipes, Add cooked and cooled diced chicken and dill for a chicken salad.

Steps:
- 1. Cook macaroni to package directions. (do not overcook it will flatten the macaroni)
- 2. While that is happening, prepare all the vegetables.
- 3. Cool the macaroni. When the macaroni is finished cooking, pour off the hot water and immediately add very cold water to macaroni to stop the cooking process. You can either add some ice to the pot and stir the macaroni until chilled or you can pour off again and add more cold water. I find adding ice cubes the best method.
- 4. When the macaroni is cool and drained, mix all the ingredients, except tomatoes, in a large bowl.
- 5. When you have finished mixing thoroughly and have added the correct amount of salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and fold them in gently so you do not end up with pink salad. Or you can sprinkle them over the top for a decorative touch.

AUNT WOOFIE'S MACARONI SALAD
I have been making my Macaroni Salad like this for years. . The juice from the green olives and pickles really add to the flavor of the salad. Slice the olives and pickles before measuring them. This is really good if you make it the night before you are going to serve it. It gives the different flavors and juices a chance to blend really well. I don't like my pasta salads with a lot of mustard so I use horseradish sauce. You can replace it with more mustard if you want. I use the mustard for color only. Prep time is approximate. Cook time is the refrigeration time. This recipe can easily be doubled.
