Hawaiian Macaroni Salad

Step 1

Cook the Pasta - In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Stir in 1 tablespoon of salt until dissolved. Cook until soft but not mushy, about 12 to 14 minutes.

Step 2

Drain and Cool - Drain pasta into a colander and rinse with cold water until cool, about 1 minute. Shake to drain excess water, then add pasta to a large bowl.

Step 3

Add the Mix-ins - Stir in the carrots, celery, onion, relish, rice vinegar, sugar, ¾ teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the Mayonnaise - Stir in mayonnaise until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The salad dressing will become thicker when chilled.

Step 5

To Serve - Stir and season with salt and pepper to taste.
