Easy HAWAIIAN STYLE MACARONI SALAD Recipe | Keeping It Relle

[@thekawaiifam2556]

From Hawaii and moved to the mainland. I miss Hawaii foods so much! I was missing home bad. Most of all was Mac Salad. Tried the store bought macaroni salad in the mainland but it’s not the same. I found this recipe. Made it exactly like you did. Oh my gosh. I felt like I was back home. Same as home. This is amazing Mac salad. Leftovers are just as good. Thank you so much for this video 😊

[@KeepingItRelle]

So great to hear. Thank you for sharing.

[@brendalam942]

Tried this recipe and it was pretty spot on!! Ate the whole entire bowl of Mac salad! I served it with rice & chicken Katsu ❤️ makes me miss home!!

Looks so easy, I feel like my local Hawaiian resto never gives me enough lol so thanks for this recipe. I love that it's short and to the point.

[@KeepingItRelle]

You are so welcome!

[@N2LADIES55]

I ate a ton of macaroni salad when I lived in Hawaii in the 1970s and now that I'm retired I have the time to make all of the delicious foods I ate there. I used your recipe and thought I was back in Hawaii, so delicious.

[@KeepingItRelle]

So awesome to hear. Thanks for sharing.

[@cesarvilla2677]

I made this recipe today. My family loved it! Thanks for making an easy to follow video. This will now be my go to Hawaiian style mac salad. Just an fyi, I used a teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of pepper when seasoning the mac :)

[@KeepingItRelle]

Glad you liked it!!

I have been wanting this recipe ever since I went to Hawaii & had a Kaluha pig plate with this macaroni salad. Yummy on both.

[@lambsauce8662]

Yay thanks so much! The only Hawaiian food truck opened in my area of Canada and they are only open Fridays and Saturdays and I kept missing them. I couldn't handle it anymore so I made your recipe. Delish!! I can feel the sea breeze!

You are so welcome!

My sister visited from the mainland last week and requested for me to make a good potato/macaroni salad for our beach picnic . So I was in search for a recipe and came across this recipe. I attempted to make tripling the recipe as I have a big family . Everyone raved so much about it and was all eaten at the beach! My boyfriend loved it so much he asked me to make it again . So I did last night 😊 I did a double recipe so we have a big bowl of creamy goodness. 😋 This recipe is highly recommended! Thank you! I love all of your recipes! I make a lot of your Ube butter mochi and Regular butter mochi. Good luck in the Great American Recipe Contest!

[@KeepingItRelle]

Yay. Great to hear. Mahalo!

[@jessicacastro4327]

Thanks for sharing. Made this for my daughters party and it was a hit. Got a request to make it again tonight for a party tomorrow. My family approves, Thanks ❤

[@jessicacastro4327]

I also grated the onion instead of dicing, for those picky eaters that say they don’t like onion (as long as they don’t see it,lol)

[@KeepingItRelle]

Happy to hear. Thank you for sharing.

[@LilyCorowsky]

Yummy! I love Hawaiian food. I enjoy the Hawaiian macaroni salad more than any of the other macaroni salads I have tried. It’s so rich, creamy, different, and light. So good! I am going to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@KeepingItRelle]

So good!

[@malcriadamedina5358]

I am addicted to Hawaiian macaroni salad

[@KeepingItRelle]

Haha. Love it.

[@SnarkySolarGuy]

Stationed in Hawaii for 15 years and this quickly became a food staple. An old girlfriend used the grater on the onions and it was incredible.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Yes. Great tip.

[@watrgrl2]

Aloha Relle! Just found your channel while looking for Hawaiian macaroni salad! We have a Hawaiian restaurant here in Portland Oregon called NoHo’s and my Hawaiian Japanese friends told me it was one of the best on the west coast. That’s where I fell in love with macaroni salad, kahlua pork and Hawaiian bbq short ribs! I am so looking forward to trying your recipes! I appreciate your videography and your great instructions! You are a natural! My step mother of Korean/Japanese descent was born and raised in Oahu where her parents were also born. They all emigrated to Oregon eventually where my Dad met her. Anyway, i got to learn how to make kimchi and haupia from step grandma but they never made macaroni salad. Mostly Korean dishes.

[@KeepingItRelle]

So awesome to hear. Thanks for stopping by.

[@vace7088]

I am from Portland and I am completely obsessed with the Mac salad from NoHos. The best Mac salad I've ever had. Curious, did you try this Mac salad recipe? Would love to hear how you guys make yours!

[@ley9649]

New Mexico doesn’t have good Hawaiian food, so you’re a life saver. Thanks for your videos. Today I’ll be making this recipe again with my now 2 year old daughter, last time I made this was in 2022 when I was pregnant.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Yay. Hope you enjoy!

When I make Macaroni salad I grate the onion using the big holes instead of dicing. I have some nieces that don't like chunks of onion, but don't notice when it's grated.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Great tip. Thank you.

I made this for my family and made teriyaki beef, short rib, and chicken. My kids loved it more that the Hawaiian restaurant we go too

So happy to hear you're enjoying it. Mahalo!

[@SandraandPono]

I tried so many times to make Mac salad and idk why it just doesn’t come out. But now I see a couple secrets like the sugar and vinegar! Thx for posting. Can you do a potato egg and Mac? Or should I just add some potatoes and egg and less it should be ok?

[@KeepingItRelle]

You can totally add egg and potato. You'll need more of the mayo sauce if you add those. Sounds yummy!

[@milcavargas1792]

Do you by chance know how much of everything we have to add?

[@Stephrrrrrrrr]

Potatoes egg Mayo and mustard and olives + salt and pepper, simple but my fave!!

[@jarayc962]

Hopefully I made a tasty large serving for 180 plus people but I believe I did the metric portions wrong. Your step by step was great I just felt I rushed and eyeballed a lot of things but lords willing the chill method in a few hours changes that. Not sad if I can’t serve it but first attempt learning curve. Appreciate your video and walkthrough. I have other sides and high protein dishes. Wanted to try this for turn.

[@KeepingItRelle]

I leave the written directions in the description box as well as on my website if you ever need to refer back. Best of luck. Mahalo for stopping by.

[@emmyeveryday]

This is perfect as is! Save your time and don’t change a thing! You won’t regret it. So delicious and very authentic taste!!! Thank you so much. So simple and it’s the best recipe I’ve tried for Hawaiian Mac salad. Mahalo!

[@KeepingItRelle]

Thank you!

[@jesselaa9397]

Agreed....jus oooooone tiny change that I would suggest.... The grader that she used for the carrot...do the EXACT same thing with the onion... I know it seems like a tiny change but it REALLY makes a world of difference in the over all taste... 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@donnavaughn9409]

I live to add the cut veggies into the dressing so that sort of marinates and then start cooking the macaroni and by the time the mac is room temp, then add the dressing with veggies in it, also a little less sugar

Thanks for the amazing recipe! My local restaurant here in California charges $6 for 2 scoops and it gets expensive since we all like extra Mac salad 😅. I doubled your recipe and it cost me about $10 to make. 😁

[@KeepingItRelle]

Perfect! Happy you like it.

I always come back to this recipe to make my mac salad thanks for sharing 😊

[@KeepingItRelle]

You're welcome

[@leekshikapinnamneni4835]

Thanks for this recipe. I’m definitely making it. I was thinking about how I could make macaroni salad without celery or peppers or anything like that and this is the perfect thing. I think I ran out of elbow noodles but I do have short pasta that could work I think. This is amazing and thank you.

[@KeepingItRelle]

You can use another type of pasta if you want. Hope you enjoy!

I was out of apple cider vinegar and tried rice vinegar. It was actually pretty good.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Nice. Yeah you can totally use another type of vinegar you like. Just depends on the flavor you want.

[@lovHim100]

My son made this yesterday And it was Delicious Best I ever had without a million steps

[@KeepingItRelle]

Awesome. So great to hear.

[@leekshikapinnamneni4835]

I tried this recipe twice. Once it was with rigatoni noodles because I didn’t have the elbows on hand and then I tried it again with the elbows. It’s a great recipe for any noodle that has nooks or crannies to hold and all that yummy dressing. I thought it would be boring at first but the flavor is remarkable for such a simple salad and I’m going to keep making it. Instead of mixing the dressing in the bowl, I used an empty jar with a lid and I actually gave the mixture a shake before pouring it on the noodles. It’s really beautiful and I recommend it for just about any occasion.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Awesome to hear. So glad you liked it.

[@bringbackfreedomeofspeech]

I like this version that adds a bit of finely flaked down tuna also. So I probably will use this recipe with the added tuna and I should have the mac salad I have been missing.

[@KeepingItRelle]

Got get 'um

I prefer finely sliced green onions instead of regular. They are milder. I use brown sugar, rather than white, and dice and chop sweet bread-and butter pickles (with a little pickle juice) and add to the dressing...... Also, I like to add some diced sharp cheddar cheese to my salad. My 6 yr old loves this ......( I do too !)
