Deb and I go to the Antique / Flea Market in Brimfield, MA, 3 times a year. It has become a tailgate tradition for us since we had a bad experience paying too much for crappy BBQ chicken one year and I decided to pack a picnic lunch the next time. This mac salad was based on a bruschetta they showed being prepared in the movie Julie and Julia. I just mutated it a bit. It has become a tradition, and Deb loves it.
Starting with a cup of small shells, cooked, 1 diced medium tomato, a handful of fresh basil chopped, 1 TBS chopped capers, 1 TBS of whole capers, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, a few dashes of garlic powder, ground black pepper to taste and I save the seasoned oil from the marinated mozzarella balls we get from TJ's and use that, but good olive oil, if not. Mix and chill.
