MY NOTES: I added sliced green olives with pimentos instead of just pimentos - they added a nice tang to the salad. I also added about 1/2 cup sour cream to the dressing as well for extra moistness. I liked this salad and I am fussy about macaroni salad.

Ingredients

• 2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked
• 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons diced green onions

• 1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
