HAWAIIAN MACARONI SALAD
I had to figure out how to make Hawaiian Macaroni Salad at home because my husband was getting tired of ordering enough for our whole family from a local restaurant. Sometimes I use green onions and serve the salad with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. -Blaine Kahle, Florence, Oregon

Steps:
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot or dutch oven.
- Add the dried elbow pasta and boil for 12 minutes or until cooked.
- Drain water and cool the pasta thoroughly.
- Combine all remaining ingredients and chill for at least 1 hour.
- [Notes: I always add salt to the pot of water so that the pasta is well seasoned. The onion in the macaroni salad at L & L Hawaiian BBQ is very small, more like minced. After dicing your onion, be sure and rinse it in cold running water to remove any bitterness. I never measure out the mayonnaise, just add enough until I am satisfied. The cookbook recommends using Best Foods or Hellman's mayonnaise. I often add 2-3 Tablespoons of milk right before serving to make sure that the pasta is moist enough. The original recipe adds one small can of oil based tuna (drained), but I haven't seen it added to the salad when I have ordered it. Some reviewers are commenting that the recipe is too salty and that the salt should be reduced, so please keep that in mind. I think that I just add to taste, but the 2 teaspoons is what is in the original recipe in the cookbook.].
- UPDATE May 2014: I checked with my local L&L Hawaiian BBQ and they do NOT put tuna in their macaroni salad, it is totally vegetarian.

Tips:
- Cook the macaroni perfectly: Al dente is the ideal texture for macaroni salad, so be sure to cook it according to the package instructions. Rinsing the macaroni in cold water after cooking will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the salad from becoming mushy.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. This is especially true for the vegetables, such as the celery, onion, and carrots.
- Choose a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes the macaroni salad, so be sure to choose one that you love. The recipe in the article is a great place to start, but you can also experiment with other dressings, such as a vinaigrette or a ranch dressing.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so be careful not to overdo it. You can always add more dressing if needed, but it's hard to take it out once it's in.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will also make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Hawaiian barbecue macaroni salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, a main course, or a potluck dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences, so be sure to give it a try. You won't be disappointed!
