Makes 8 servings

I made this up today to use up my squash and lemons (and limes, too).

Ingredients

135	grams macaroni, whole wheat, dry
1	cup black olives, chopped
1/8	cup lemon juice
1/2	cup celery, chopped
1/2	cup green onions, chopped
1/4	cup red bell pepper, chopped
1	can (16 ounces) Beans, Kidney, Red, Mature Seeds, Canned, drained
1	can (16 ounces) Beans, Great Northern, Mature Seeds, Canned, drained
3	tbsp mayonnaise
1/4	cup cilantro, chopped
1/8	tsp black pepper
1/2	cup yellow squash, boiled and drained
1/2	cup zucchini, boiled and drained

Directions

Boil the macaroni, zucchini and squash together. Drain and let it sit for about 15 minutes to cool down.
Drain cans of beans and rinse them thoroughly with water. Let them dry 10 minutes.
Cut up all the veggies and spices. Mix them all together. Add the lemon (or lime) juice and mayo. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until cold, cold, cold.
Serve as a main dish during the summer. Makes a nice side item, too. Remember not to leave it sitting out during the summer and to put it back in the refrigerator immediately after serving.
