Olive Pasta Salad

By: Marsha Glick 
"This recipe is better the second day, if there is any left over. My family fights for the leftovers! You can add more or less olives, celery seed, and mayonnaise to taste. Even better if made the night before and allowed to sit for several hours."

Our 8 year old is crazy about Ancient Greece so we served this salad as part of a Greek dinner...

I love olives but this recipe seemed too dry and I would definately cut back on the celery seed.
