small elbow pasta,cooked,,,,,couple hard boiled eggs grated. celery, chopped, onions chopped, olives sliced , mild green chilies, chopped from can. couple cans. some times i add grated cheese. mix mayo and a little lime juice to make a dressing. you may have to add more dressing before you serve. i did not include the number of servings, it would be up to you as to how much you want to make. oh, and once in a while if i have it , i add some chopped cilantro. as my youngest grandson said, " you could sell this grandma." lol salt and pepper to taste
