Steps:
- Boil noodles like you normally would do. Until done. Drain the noodles. Put them in a large bowl and put in the fridge to cool. (Faster prep: Run them under cold water until cool then let sit so all of the water will drain).
- Mince pickles and black olives. (Faster & easier prep: Buy dill pickle relish and already chopped black olives).
- Chop green onions.
- After noodles are cool add mayonnaise (more or less to taste) & mustard (optional) and mix together.
- Add pickle, olives, & green onions and mix. (Can use more or less. I personally like a lot of pickles and little onion & olives).
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Put in the fridge to chill. (Sometimes you may need to add more mayo when ready to serve).
- Add the cheese when you are serving. (I let everybody add as much as they want. Makes it fun for the kids).

KITTENCAL'S RANCH POTATO SALAD OR MACARONI SALAD
I have made this many times over the years for large gatherings, everyone loves it and I am always asked for the recipe --- the dressing is wonderful with potatoes or cooked pasta, you may of coarse double the amounts to feed more people --- all ingredients may be adjusted to suit taste, throw in some cooked ham or bacon if desired, plan ahead this salad must chill for at least 3 or more hours before serving, the longer chilling time the better! --- if making the potato salad and prefer a creamier salad then double the dressing amount
