Answers: How do you make Hawaiian macaroni salad?

• Hawaiian macaroni salad recipe
• Creamy mayonnaise and milk dressing
• Pasta cooked to al dente
• Vinegar tossed elbow macaroni
• Adding grated carrots and scallions
• Refrigerating pasta salad before serving

Ingredients

• 4 quarts boiling water
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 pound elbow macaroni
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cider vinegar
• 4 scallions
• 1 carrot
• 1 celery rib
• black pepper

What it concludes

• Cook the macaroni for 15 minutes so it is very soft.
• Use whole milk instead of low-fat milk in the dressing to prevent it from becoming too thin.
• Add cider vinegar directly to the warm pasta so it gets absorbed without curdling the mayonnaise dressing.
• Add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the dressing to balance the acidity and bring out the vegetable flavors.
• Add a dose of fresh dressing right before serving to truly enliven all the flavors.
