I used a pound of pasta and didn't measure out the mayo (I use Hellmann's light). The tomatoes and cucumber add a really fresh taste to basic macaroni salad. I love the green olives in it...I mixed them instead of just putting them on top. I also added some chopped onions. Very good recipe for the summer BBQ season! -
I love this. But, I use black olives and I add a can of baby shrimp. Thanks forrr posting. Joan
