Green Olive Mac Salad Will Change The Way You Picnic

This is an excellent dish to take to potlucks and other social gatherings. You can almost guarantee that nobody else has made this kind of macaroni salad. Every time I take it somewhere, I have at least one request for the recipe. The bowl almost always gets cleaned right out. If there are any leftovers, they hold nicely in the fridge and make a yummy snack.

If you like salty olives, you’re going to love this macaroni salad!
