To my knowledge my family is the only one who makes macaroni salad this way. It’s the only one I like.

This amount will fill the largest tupperware bowl in the tower. I make a huge batch because we always seem to go through it.

1/2 c to 1 c dried macaroni
four cans of tuna (well drained)
two cans black olives (sliced and drained)
6 celery stalks (chopped)
two cans of peas (drained)
three green onions (thats a me add in)
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cayenne (me add in as well)
3/4 c mayo
2 tblsp milk

Cook the macaroni until al dente, drain and set aside. Mix last five ingredients in a medium sized bowl and set aside. In a large mixing bowl add all the canned ingredients and macaroni, dump sauce on top and gently stir with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Stir before serving.
