- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup red onion, diced
- 1 cup yellow or white onion, diced
- 1 cup medium cheddar, diced
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, diced
- 1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
- 1 cup dill pickles, diced
- 1 cup salami, diced
- 1 (6-ounce) can large pitted black olives, drained (or 1 cup diced or sliced)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Lowry's garlic salt
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
- 1/4 teasspoon dried horseradish

- 1 to 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
Directions
Add 2 quarts of water to a medium stockpot and bring to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until it is al dente, approximately 9 minutes. Do not overcook the pasta or it will fall apart when the salad is tossed together. Rinse macaroni until cool. Drain well and let it dry out slightly.
Add pasta to a large bowl. Carefully fold in celery, onion, cheddar, Swiss cheese, Parmesan, dill pickles, salami, and black olives. Refrigerate the mixture, uncovered, overnight (or refrigerate for at least 2 hours).
Mix the Lowry's garlic salt, minced garlic, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard and celery salt together. Add to salad. Fold in the pimentos. Fold in 1 cup of mayonnaise to start. Add up to a 1/2 cup more of mayonnaise if needed. Refrigerate again for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

This salad is amazing... I agree, adjust the garlic salt downwards. This salad was a huge hit, everyone LOVED it!!! I made the salad and dressing ahead of time and let it set overnight separately, then mixed the morning of my dinner. This is my new "go to" salad :

Adjust the garlic salt downward! I also use shredded cheese (it's just easier, fresh horseradish, and no celery (don't like it...yuck!. I made the dressing the night before because of time restraints in the morning and then added it to the pasta mixture in the morning. For folks who mix everything at once, I seriously suggest letting the pasta ingredients mellow overnight before adding the dressing...it amps the flavor like you would not believe! This dish received RAVE reviews and I saw multiple food-gasms! I actually had folks fighting over taking home doggie bags!
