Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups cooked macaroni or 4 cups other pastas
1/2 orange , zest and juice of
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 onion, diced very fine
2 -4 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf italian parsley , to taste
1/2 red bell pepper, diced (optional)
2 scallions, diced (optional)
1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 tsp paprika (optional)
black pepper
1 dash salt

Directions:

Combine ingredients. Best with lots of black pepper, in my opinion.
Orange flavor will get stronger as it sits in the fridge. Zesting all the peel from the 1/2 orange will make the orange flavor rather strong, especially if you plan to refrigerate before serving.
If you don't have a zester, crosshatch an area of orange peel with light cuts from a sharp knife, then shave the pieces off. It's very easy and with heavy crosshatching yields results comparable to using a good zester.
