Macaroni Salad (Paula Deen's)

I came across this recipe at FOOD.COM, which Addrienne in Reisterstown had posted the recipe, but I slightly tweaked the recipe to suit my taste.  The end results... A delicious tasting salad which I would make again.

Macaroni Salad (Paula Deen's) 

2 cups cooked macaroni

3 hard boiled eggs, chopped 

1/2 cup thinly sliced celery

1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 small green onion, chopped

1 (2-oz.) jar diced pimentos, drained

1 Tablespoon honey Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Morten's Season-All Salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

1 cup mayonnaise, chilled

1.)  Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

2.)  Note: After I prepared this salad, I chilled it in the refrigerator for 3 hours, but the salad seemed dry, so I prepared a bit more of the dressing, and added it immediately.  What a difference that made.  The salad was a lot more creamy, and stayed creamier, for several days in the fridge. 

3.) Also, when adding a bit more of the dressing, I used, 1/2 cup Hellmann's Mayonnaise, 1/2 Tablespoon of the mustard, 1/4 teaspoon Morton's Season-All Salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Lawry's Lemmon Pepper seasoning.
