My grandma's macaroni salad. Heavy on green onions and paprika. She always made it in the same Tupperware bowl, as if it were some family heirloom. It was sort of bland, but it tasted like macaroni salad. Most people make it taste like miracle whip with chunks in it. She would cover the top with sliced eggs and then put the paprika on it. I could probably make it myself just from the memory of how she made it. But I'd have to find that bowl somewhere.

She's still alive(I've been talking past tense) but she's getting harder and harder to communicate with. I have no idea if she has a recipe or not.
