- Cook the macaroni in the boiling water with the 1 teaspoon salt and the olive oil.
- When cooked, drain and rinse with cold water.
- Make a bed of lettuce in the bottom of a large bowl.
- Layer the macaroni on top of the lettuce.
- Continue with cabbage, onion, celery, cheese, bacon, peas, using each to form one layer.
