Hawaiian Macaroni Salad ✨

Creamy, tangy, and just a little sweet—this island-style mac salad is the perfect side for BBQs, Hawaiian chicken skewers, or any summer get-together!

Ingredients
• 1 lb elbow macaroni
• 2 cups mayonnaise
• ¼ cup whole milk (adjust as needed)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1½ tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 cup finely shredded carrots
• ½ medium yellow onion, finely grated
• 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
• Salt & black pepper, to taste

Instructions
	1.	Cook macaroni in salted water until soft (past al dente). Drain and let cool slightly.
	2.	In a large bowl, combine pasta with mayo, milk, vinegar, sugar, carrots, onion, and green onions (if using).
	3.	Mix well until creamy and evenly coated.
	4.	Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
	5.	Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is best). Stir before serving—add a splash of milk or mayo if needed.

Note: Traditionally, the vinegar, carrots, and onion are mixed into the pasta while it’s still warm to help the flavors soak in. I added everything after cooling the pasta and it still turned out delicious!
