Print: Mindy's Macaroni Salad

I remember my mom making the best macaroni salad when I was a kid. I wanted to make mine similar to hers but added a few things I like, such as pimiento, vinegar, and a gherkin for a little tartness to balance out the sweetness. My husband, who doesn't really like pasta salads, loves this!
