Macaroni Salad
I picked up this recipe from Germany, it is very simple and tasty. For a different taste, omit the gherkins and add 1/4 cup of chopped ham. The basic recipe is also delicious with boiled new potatoes instead of pasta.

I like to think this is a more sophisticated version of Rocky Road ice cream. The caramelized almonds are really delicious and would make a good topping on any ice cream flavor. And everyone knows toasted marshmallows are much better than plain!
