This is my own recipe, updated from my mom’s (which was OK, but not enough of the stuff I like):

Take macaroni (about a 1/2 cup to cup per person). Cook as directed on the package (if you don’t have a package, that’s boil rapidly until tender).

Cool and add in as desired:
bacon pieces (or soy bacon if you’re veg)
snipped chives or green onions
tomato wedges (or grape tomatoes, they taste wonderful!)
fresh broccoli florets
other veggies or herbs that you have
add mayonnaise to taste, salt and pepper, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Yummy, yummy, yummy! I want some now.
