• Put a large pot of salted water and heat on the stove to boil the pasta. Follow the cooking time and the package instructions of your pasta brand. Adding salt is optional but recommended.
• Gradually add pasta, stirring to separate it, and return to a boil. Boil uncovered, stirring occasionally until you have tender macaroni that is al dente pasta.
• While the pasta is boiling, chop the fresh ingredients: celery, green onions, dill pickles, and chop the eggs into small pieces.
• Drain the large pot of pasta, and pour it into a very large bowl.
• Into the large bowl, add the chopped ingredients to the warm cooked pasta. Add celery, green onions, chopped pickles, pickle juice, chopped eggs, black olives, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Stir well to combine, and chill for several hours or overnight. The warm pasta will absorb the pickle juice as it sits in the fridge, that is what makes it so good!
• Optional: Slice a couple of eggs and places them on top with sprinkles of paprika to make it pretty.
