SIMPLY MACARONI SALAD

I wanted to make macaroni salad but this time I wanted something a 

little different.  I have always used either canned tuna or chopped ham in it before.

Only change I could think of was to use neither of the above.  So I put this together

hoping it would taste ok and my husband and I both agree..... it is fantastic !

I was very happy with the way it turned out and I will be making it more now that

I dared to try it...

If you need a larger amount just double all of the ingredients..

I was cooking for just two of us so I made a smaller sized one that will be good for

us for a couple of days (lunches, dinners etc.)...that way we don't get tired of it and waste any...

2 cups macaroni rings

3/4 cup canned peas

1/4 cup chopped onions (or to your taste)

1/4 cup chopped celery

2 tablespoons bacon bits

3 hard boiled eggs

1/4 cup cheddar cheese (cut into cubes)

3/4 cup Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise (more if desired)
