Notes: My Aunt Eve Johnsen, the sister to whom my mom was closest, sent me this recipe from her home in California after I married. Mother used and loved it. She and her sisters were always trading recipes, but she especially looked forward to Christmas cards from her family because often there would be a clipped recipe enclosed. For variety in this macaroni salad you may add broccoli or water chestnuts chopped. Almost any crunchy veggie works well in it.
