Easy Hawaiian Macaroni Salad Recipe: This Real Hawaiian Macaroni Salad is refreshing and creamy, and it can be fully customized to suit your tastes!

I used to go a quarter of a mile to have a plate lunch of Hawaiian macaroni salad and chicken katsu when I was expecting my first child. I would still put my newborn in the stroller and go for walks to satisfy my need even after she was delivered. We moved soon after she was born, and until I went to a street cart in Portland last month, I had almost completely forgotten about this amazing salad.

Easy Hawaiian Macaroni Salad Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. uncooked macaroni pasta
4 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 1/2 cups Best Foods Mayo, divided
1 cup milk, 2% is best, divided

2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

Pasta should be cooked as directed on the package, then well drained. After adding the apple cider vinegar to the hot pasta in a big bowl, toss to coat. After letting the pasta absorb the vinegar, let it cool for ten minutes or so.

In the meantime, combine 1/2 cup milk, 2 cups mayo, sugar, salt, and pepper in a whisk. Allow the macaroni salad to cool fully after folding it into the dressing and tossing to coat.

Stir to coat. Add any more add-ins you would like to add, along with the remaining 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup mayonnaise.

For at least one hour, or overnight, cover and refrigerate. Before serving, stir and taste to adjust the seasoning. Have fun!

How To Make Authentic Hawaiian Macaroni Salad:

Cook your pasta, then let it soak up some apple cider vinegar before tossing it in the creamy mayo sauce.

Customize your Hawaiian Macaroni Salad by adding in shredded carrots, shredded sweet onions, peas, or even diced ham!

The flavors of the pasta really enhance after a night of chilling in the fridge. But you can serve right away if desired.

Now, the macaroni salad that I had in Portland was super basic, and only consisted of this creamy sauce and a little salt and pepper. The nice thing about a pasta salad like this, though, is that you can add in all sorts of additions to the finished product to suit your needs. I love adding in shredded carrots, peas, and sweet onions. Some people enjoy chopped pineapple and cubed ham.
