If you’ve been to Hawaii and had Macaroni Salad there (usually referred to as Mac Salad), then you’ve probably been craving it ever since. If you haven’t been and haven’t had it, well then, you’ll just have to trust me that you absolutely need to make it. It’s macaroni salad, yes, but it’s macaroni salad that’s creamy as all get out with the perfect amount of sweetness and tang. It’s a plate lunch staple, sure, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a staple at your potlucks and parties too.
This isn’t your mainland macaroni salad, so how does it differ? Well, for starters, you usually won’t find mustard and relish in the mix but you will find shredded carrots, grated onion, and sometimes celery for crunch. You also won’t find al dente pasta here – you want to overcook the noodles so they better absorb all the creaminess and flavor from the dressing. It’s soft and plump stuff.
First, you’ll mix up the dressing – half and half, mayo, grated onion, a touch of sugar, and some salt and black pepper – and then set it aside while you overcook that pasta (a good five minutes extra should do it ). You’ll then drain the pasta but then stir in apple cider vinegar until it’s absorbed. It gets that tang right into the pasta itself.
