When it's tender, drain it well and if possible, rinse in cold water to cool it down. While the macaroni is boiling, drain the water chestnuts. If possible cover them cool fresh water and allow them to soak for several minutes. Drain again. Chop the water chestnuts into small chunks. Combine all of the ingredients in a big bowl and mix them very well. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and place it somewhere cool to sit until you're ready to serve. Sitting for about 30 minutes brings out the full flavor of the salad. Serve anywhere you would macaroni or potato salad. It also makes a good main dish salad for lunch. Makes 6 servings.
