Mindy's Macaroni Salad

Recipesfull introduces to you: Pasta Salad Recipes. (Mindy's Macaroni Salad). I remember my mom making the best macaroni salad when I was a kid. I wanted to make mine similar to hers, but added a few things I like, such as pimiento, vinegar, and a gherkin for a little tartness to balance out the sweetness. My husband, who doesn't really like pasta salads, loves this!
