Mama Sugar's Macaroni Salad

For a crowd:

2 lbs of pasta, your choice(I use lg. elbow
1/2 yellow bell pepper,diced
1/2 red bell pepper,diced
3 celery sticks,diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 can of Large pitted black olives, sliced(drained)
Mayo(according to taste
Salt & pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
 

 Instructions:

In a large pot, fill with water adding salt and garlic. Once it has a rolling boil, add the pasta.
Leave for about 10-15 minutes, checking for doneness and softness. Once soft, but not falling apart, drain the water,(rinse if desired)

Place pasta in a large bowl, adding mayo and the veggies little by little. Mixing gently, teasting for more salt if needed.

Keep adding pasta, mayo, veggies and salt until satisfied.

Remember that it is best to make the night before, letting the flavors sit in, and in the morning, check for dryness or taste.

Note"

It is always better to be a little on the dry side, that way in the morning, you may add more mayo because if you add to much then it is much difficult to make right;if this does happen, just boil more water and make more pasta.
