Classic Pasta Salad

4 cups Elbow Macaroni

1 cup Sliced Black Olives

1 cup Diced Baby Sweet Peppers

½ cup Diced Sweet & Spicy Pickles, like Famous Dave's

2 Diced Green Onions

½ cup Mayonnaise

1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

1 ½ tsp Granulated Sugar

¼ tsp Pink Himalayan Salt

½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper, or more to taste

¼ cup Milk

¼ cup Pickles Juice from the jar of Sweet & Spicy Pickles

Put on a big pot of water to boil your pasta. Meanwhile, slice your peppers, olives, pickles and green onions.

Once your pasta is cooked al dente, drain and rinse it with cold water. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Slowly add enough milk to make the mixture pourable, adding pickle juice to taste.

Add all of your veggies to the pasta, drizzle half the dressing on top and stir to combine.

Cover and chill for 2 hours or more. Just before serving, stir in the remaining dressing and add more green onions, if desired.
