Cold Macaroni Salad Preparation
First things first, cook up about two cups of macaroni. Be sure to cook your pasta properly.
Hard-boil two to three eggs.
Once you’ve got the eggs and pasta all cooked up, you’ll need to start chopping. Chop your eggs into small cubes. Also, chop half an onion and two or three celery stalks into tiny little bits.

Salt and pepper to taste.
Refrigerate the whole thing for several hours and you have cold macaroni salad.
