We celebrated one of my daughter's birthdays the other day. And when she was making the menu for her birthday dinner, she requested a family favorite - her Grammy's macaroni salad.

This is the salad we often have at family gatherings or vacations. It's a family favorite. I hope it becomes a top pick for your family too!

Grammy's Macaroni Salad

½ box elbow macaroni
2 stalks celery, including leaves, chopped
1 small sweet onion, chopped (about ¼ to ½ cup)
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 small (4oz.) jar pimento, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon celery seed (less is desired)
Salt and pepper to taste
2/3 cup mayonnaise

2 to 3 tablespoons sour cream

Cook elbow macaroni according to directions on box. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain.

In medium to large bowl, mix macaroni, celery, onion, pepper and pimento. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Pour the dressing over macaroni mixture and mix gently.

Sprinkle in celery seed and mix again. Salt and pepper to taste.
