This is the recipe for the macaroni salad sold in the deli at our local co-op.  This is good on its own or to use as a starting point to add to. 

1 pound small elbow pasta

1-1/2 cups mayo

1 T Dijon mustard

2 T white wine vinegar

1-1/2 t dry mustard

salt and pepper to taste

3-4 green onions, sliced

3 celery ribs, diced

3/4 cup sliced black olives, well drained

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 handful Italian parsley, finely chopped

Cook macaroni according to instructions.  Drain,  Rinse to cool and let dry.

Mix together mayo, Dijon, vinegar, dry mustard and s/p until blended.  Add to pasta and toss to combine.

Toss remaining ingredients with dressed pasta. 

I always add a garnish to the bowl such as sliced hard boiled eggs, tomato wedges or avocado slices.

DiAnne, this is about how I make ours but I add canned shrimp,  4 small cans. I save the juice and mix that with the mayo till it is smooth and creamy.

You can also do the same with canned tuna but you don't need as many cans of tuna being it is a stronger taste

My family loves it with the canned shrimp and the juice mixed in with the mayo.

I also use rice vinegar for almost everything since DH won't eat anything he can smell or taste vinegar in so, I get either the seasoned or unseasoned depending on what I am using it for.
