Would you mind posting the recipe?

Many, many, many ......many years ago, when I was in the 7th grade,
I volunteered to become a kitchen helper at school ( I scraped the
dishes and loaded them into the clipper basket, and then ran them
through the clipper.)

Why did I do this thing? Kitchen helpers ate last, but they got the
extra food from that day's meal, and these old biddies made the best
macaroni salad in the whole, wide world!

I have never duplicated that dish. Maybe, this time....
