Hawaiian Macaroni Salad is a traditional simple Hawaiian pasta salad. It's a no-frills mac salad made with simple ingredients and it's a family favorite!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound macaroni
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup green onions minced (optional)
  • 2 1/2 cups Mayonnaise Best Foods, Hellman's or Dukes mayonnaise (no substitutes!)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook macaroni according to package directions. Rinse and drain well and place macaroni in a large bowl (I like to use a bowl with a lid so I can easily refrigerate to chill)

  2. 2

    While macaroni is still hot, sprinkle vinegar over the top and quickly stir pasta. Add grated carrots and onion. Toss together until well combined. Allow to cool about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add mayonnaise, milk, and sugar. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all the noodles are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (best if overnight). Gently stir a little more milk in before serving if needed,no more than a tablespoon or two. Garnish with chopped green onion.
