Recipe from Marilyn J. Miller

The amounts of everything are to personal taste.

• 1 1/2 boxes of creamettes macaroni
  (this makes a huge dish full - use quantities appropriate for your needs.)
  
  
• 1 medium-sized onion, chopped

• celery
• carrots
• cucumber
• green peppers
• radishes
• tomatoes
• any other fresh vegetable you want to add
• miracle whip (to taste)
• sweet pickle relish (to taste)

• Cut up the vegetables.
  
  
• Cook macaroni according to instructions on package EXCEPT cook it LONGER than package says so that pieces of macaroni are soft (not mushy but good and soft).
  
  
• Cool macaroni a tiny bit so that it is warm, not hot. (I do this by repeatedly pouring cool water on it and draining it)
  
  
• Drain macaroni and pour into a large dish.
  
  
• Add cut up vegetables - the more vegetables the better.
  
  
• Add chopped onion to taste.
  
  
• Add Miracle Whip to taste.
  
  
• Add sweet pickle relish to taste (for 1 1/2 packages of macaroni my family likes it best when I use about 1/2 jar of relish)
  
  
• Mix ingredients (I mix each ingredient immediately after adding it).
  
  
• Refrigerate until it is cold and serve. About 2 hours.
