hawaiian mac salad

No backyard party is complete without this Hawaiian potato salad! Featuring tender chunks of potato and loads of macaroni, this ultra creamy potato salad is a classic island side dish that’s perfect with just about any summer meal. It’s great for serving a large crowd, and it’s as simple as can be.

Hawaiian Potato Salad

potatoes

macaroni

white vinegar

mayonnaise

eggs

garlic (grated

peas (thawed)

carrots (preferably freshly grated, about 1 carrot)

sweet relish

red onion (finely diced)

celery (finely diced)

salt

pepper

parsley (chopped, optional, for garnish)

Fill a large pot with cold salted water and add potatoes. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are just soft enough so that you can easily pierce them with a fork, but they don&#039;t break apart, about 10-15 minutes or so.

At the same time, cook macaroni according to package directions.

When the potatoes and macaroni finish cooking, remove from heat and strain well to remove excess moisture. Add the potatoes and macaroni to a large mixing bowl and toss with vinegar while still warm. Be sure to toss gently to avoid the potatoes breaking up too much.

Allow the potatoes to cool. Add the mayonnaise and fold just until combined. Once the potatoes are coated, add the garlic, peas, carrots, sweet relish, red onion, celery, salt and pepper. Again, gently fold to combine.

Cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours. If desired, top with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!

Food Truck Hawaiian Mac Salad

half and half

yellow onion, finely grated

sugar

black pepper

apple cider vinegar

carrots,

celery, finely diced

In a medium bowl, whisk together the half and half, mayo, grated onion, sugar, salt, and pepper. Chill until ready to use.

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the macaroni. Add 5 minutes to time on package instructions - overcooking the pasta helps it absorb the dressing.

Drain macaroni, then add back to pot. Add apple cider vinegar and stir until absorbed. Cover pot and set aside to come down to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.

Once pasta has rested 20 minutes, add half the dressing and stir to combine. Cover again and let cool 20 minutes more.

Add in remaining dressing, along with celery and carrots. Adjust seasoning as needed and chill until ready to use, at least 2 hours. Enjoy!

This Hawaiian Macaroni Salad Recipe is a delicious blend of creamy, sweet and tangy flavors that makes it a great side dish for summer cookouts and picnics.

This is a winner everytime. I’m glad I found this recipe having had a potato-mac salad myself in the Islands.

This was great. I've tried feeding my toddler other mayo based salads and this was the first one he liked. I added a couple pinches of curry powder and subbed some peas for some of the carrots. This is a keeper

I made the huli huli chicken AND the hawaiian pasta salad this evening for my bride. Made it just as stated, marinating the chicken overnight. Very good indeed. Nice flavor, and the salad was delicious too. Every ingredient is required, they all do their thing! The pasta, to me, was different in the hawaiian salad but went very well with it. Gave the salad a nice chew! Next time i'll grill pineapple alongside. Thanks for the recipe. Cheers!

Hawaiian Macaroni Salad (a.k.a. Mac Salad) is a creamy pasta salad featuring cooked macaroni mixed with a sweet and sour dressing, grated carrots, onions and boiled eggs.

box macaroni noodles

carrots

Tablespoons finely diced shallot ((or sweet onion))

eggs,

Tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar ((or apple cider vinegar))

celery seed ((optional))

Boil 16 ounce box macaroni noodles (boil the noodles, not the box obviously) according to box directions until al dente; about 9 minutes. 

Drain noodles, rinse under cold water until cool (allow to drain well again) then put into a large bowl. 

Add in 1 cup shredded carrots, 3 Tablespoons finely diced shallot  and 2 boiled eggs, diced.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups mayonnaise, 1/3 cup whole milk, 2 Tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon celery seed. Whisk together until sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Pour over noodles and stir.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour before serving.

I made it just like you said (I used apple cider vinegar because that’s what I had ) and I added tuna in mine .  My family and I loved it , the only thing I would do (only because my personal preference ) I am going to use less shredded carrots next time . I have no complaints with this recipe, it was great .

This recipe was a weekly meal for the group. They loved it thank you for sharing 
Five stars two thumbs up they never had it before thanks. Your recipes are easy delicious fast.

Oh my gracious this is so good! I think it actually tastes better than the Mac Salad we ate in Hawai'i (no offense to my native Hawaiian friends!)

I definitely give this recipe a 10 out of 10!

Brandie, just wanted to let you know we made this and loved it. This dressing is SO good!! So much better than just plain ole mayonnaise!

my brother and his family lives in Hawaii, I may have to send him this recipe to try.

Well I made this and it didn't last long at our BBQ so I guess you could call it a hit. LOL
