Macaroni Salad for a Hot Day

Once the weather gets hot...it seems like meals turn toward summer favorites. Burgers with potato salad, hot dogs and toasted rolls, cold soups, green salads and lots of sorbets and sherbets. So tonight a quick supper it is...decided to have turkey franks in toasted rolls with plenty of mustard, minced vidalia onion and celery salt, sliced tomatoes and cukes and of course a perennial favorite of ours...macaroni salad. So easy to make and soooo good!!!!!

Just boil up your favorite pasta shape and cook till al dente in salted water. Drain and chill down with cold water. Add diced hard cooked eggs, green sweet relish, finely diced onions and mayonnaise. I would be hard pressed to make my own mayo because Hellmann's is just so good. With summer salads that no fat mayo is really disgusting...a mix of low fat and regular is fine but if having guests go full fat....
Got a little surprise when I sliced this egg open...
A double yoked egg...how cool is that...I love when I find one of these...they are just such a novelty...


So the macaroni salad is chilling in the fridge, the turkey franks are waiting to be grilled and this double yoker never made it to the salad...the husband ate it...as is.
