Birthdays & Pasta Salad

Today is Eric's birthday. Happy Birthday, Eric! We're having a dinner at his mom's tonight. I've been asked to bring my "famous" pasta salad. Not that Eric likes it. I don't think he likes anything with the word "salad" attached to it. Well, he enjoys a good fruit salad. Anyway, I was asked to bring the pasta salad, so last night I made two batches. One to go and one to stay. Alex always gets annoyed that I make things and take them away. So I made us a nice batch to keep here as well. Here's a photo of the pasta salad. And a recipe to follow.

Amanda's Pasta Salad
8 oz. elbow pasta, cooked, drained, set aside
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 small can of sliced black olives
1 cup Hellman's Light mayonnaise
2 tbsp vinegar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp Cavendar's Greek Seasoning (This is the secret ingredient!)

Mix mayo, salt, vinegar, pepper, Greek seasoning and sugar together and set aside. Add celery, onions, black olives and eggs in a big bowl with the pasta and mix lightly. Then add the Mayo mixture to the pasta. Mix well. Sprinkle a little extra Greek Seasoning over finished salad. Refrigerate. Best if made the night before.

And that's it. This recipe also substitutes perfectly with potatoes. Just swap the pasta for cut-up potatoes and you have yourself a perfect summer potato salad.
