1 (8 ounce) package salad macaroni
1 cup small broccoli florets
3/4 cup diced Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup dill pickle relish, with juice
1 large dill pickle, chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup sliced green olives (optional)
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons shredded carrot
1 tablespoon chopped pimento peppers
1 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1
Fill a pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the salad macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, and rinse with cold water until chilled. Drain again to remove excess water.
2
Place macaroni, broccoli, Cheddar cheese, green pepper, pickle relish, dill pickle, celery, black olives, green olives, green onion, carrot, and pimento in a salad bowl, and toss lightly to combine. In a bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, mustard, salt, sugar, and black pepper to make a smooth dressing; pour the dressing over the salad, and lightly mix to coat all ingredients with dressing. Refrigerate at least 4 hours to blend flavors before serving.
