Sometimes, you have to remember the simple foods. This is one of them.

In Hawaii, there is a simple macaroni 'salad'. Sure it can be fancied
up, but normally it's pure simplicity is what folks like!

Boil up some macaroni, elbow is the common one here. Drain then add
Mayo to your liking. In the purest sense, that is all that it is!
Common though is to add a few grates of carrot for color, or you might
get a little green onion.

Sure, we could all get a billion fancy additions going on, but the
simple basic works better than you think!
