  • 4 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 4 Tbsp. Accent
  • 1 pt. mayonnaise
  • 1 c. chopped celery

  • 1 c. ripe or black olives, sliced
  • 1 medium can pimentos, drained and chopped

Method

  • Cook the vermicelli 6 minutes, drain, but do not rinse. Marinate cooked vermicelli overnight in the oil, lemon juice and Accent.
  • Add the mayonnaise, celery, onion, stuffed olives, ripe or black olives, pimentos and salt and pepper to taste the next morning.
  • Let the salad sit for awhile as to allow the flavors time to blend. This salad tends to improve the longer it stays in the refrigerator.
