Mama's Pasta Salad

I know this isn't exactly pasta salad weather, but I figured I'd post this anyways since I made it for J's birthday party.  You can mix it with a candy cane or use pumpkin pasta to make it season appropriate.

You know I'm kidding, right?

Moving right along.

No exact measurements. It's not a cake. You won't ruin it, I promise. 

Mama's Pasta Salad

1 package of the pasta shape of your choice. Cook according to package's directions. Rinse with cold water.

1 can black olives, sliced

1 or 2 carrots, peeled and shredded

1/2 cup to 1 cup sliced green onion

1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced

2 handfuls of cherry tomatoes, quartered  I now declare "handful" an official form of measurement on this blog.

1 cup diced pickles

1 part plain yogurt

1 and a half parts mayonnaise

A squirt of mustard

Salt and pepper to taste (optional)

Mix thoroughly. Chill. Done.
