Pimento Cheese Macaroni Salad

This pasta salad is quick and easy to make and tastes better the longer it chills. Elbow macaroni noodles are cooked and drained. Then the noodles are mixed with cheddar cheese, jarred pimentos, celery, green onions, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Next the pasta salad is covered and chilled before serving. Don’t be afraid of the vinegary pimentos, they will mellow when mixed with the other ingredients.
