Mexican Macaroni Salad

Mexican Macaroni Salad


While driving home from work yesterday, I was thinking about making macaroni salad. I wanted to give it a little bit more flavor, something with a twist.  What about Mexican Macaroni Salad? So, here is the outcome and it is delicious!
Ingredients:
8 oz. Elbow macaroni (follow box instructions)
1/2 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
1/2 cup Sour cream
1 T. spoon Lawry's taco seasoning
2 Hard boiled eggs (large)
4 Green onions
3/4 cup Black olives (unsliced)
3/4 cup Cherry or grape tomatoes
1 cup  Cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 Jalapeno pepper sliced(optional)

 Cook macaroni as per box instructions. Cool in cold water and drain. Place in large bowl.
 Add to large bowl both diced hard boiled eggs, three of the chopped greens onions, (set one green onion aside for garnish.) 1/2 cup black olives,  (the remaining black olives to garnish.) 1/2 cup of tomatoes, (remaining tomatoes to garnish)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese,  (the remaining cheese to garnish)
In medium size bowl combine mayo, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Stir completely and pour over the macaroni mixture . Gently stir....
Layer the remaining cheddar cheese over the macaroni salad, next garnish with the remaining green onions,  black olives, and cherry tomatoes.

May we all find the "spice of life" we are searching for!
