@heresyourbite: Hawaiian Macaroni Salad 🌺 I’ve always loved the simplicity of Hawaiian Mac salad. It’s not loaded with mix-ins or tossed in a complicated dressing. It’s just creamy, comforting, and wonderfully simple. I did technically include this in my Pasta Salad Series, but it feels like it’s in a league of its own. The secret is that the pasta is intentionally cooked a little past al dente. I know that sounds wrong, but the softer noodles absorb the dressing and create the signature creamy texture Hawaiian macaroni salad is known for. Ingredients below, full recipe is in my bio! 1 pound small elbow macaroni Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar, divided 1 cup grated carrot ¼ cup grated sweet onion 1 bunch green onions, sliced (green tops) 2 cups mayonnaise, divided ½ cup whole milk, plus more as needed #macsalad #macaronisalad #sidedish #summerrecipes #EasyRecipe

What makes it Hawaiian style? I was expecting pineapple chunks or something.

As a Hawaiian, I approve this message. Just like we make it. To be honest, overcooking the pasta is not needed. The mayo will soften the noodles just right once it marinates in the fridge. Can make it with potato’s as well. Adding tuna gives it some protein.

Usually Hawaiian Mac salad is made with sugar, but since I used seasoned rice vinegar (which already has sugar) I left it out

You want to do the grated onion in the pasta while it's warm as well, so the onion juices soak in.

Adding a can of tuna takes it to the next level, trust.

What about this recipe is Hawaiian? There’s nothing tropical, there’s no spam, there’s no pineapple, coconut, sea salt, nothing! I’m confused

Mayo gets greasy if you add when pasta is hot.

I hear the trick is to undercook the noodles and add more dressing and mayo, let it sit overnight-24hrs and let the noodles absorb all the moisture for firmer more flavorful noodles
