4. Add macaroni. Stir until mixed. It'll be soupy-looking. But don't worry, it thickens up in the refrigerator.

 
5. Refrigerate macaroni salad at least 4 hours or overnight.

If you have slightly dried cheese, grate or cut slivers with a peeler and add. Bits of ham as well are a good addition. I refer to my macaroni salad as fridge cleaner salad. It's never the same twice.

Add shrimp to your macaroni salad (nice-sized shrimp). Very good!
