Equipment
  • 1 large pot
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Separate bowl
Ingredients
  
  • 1 pound macaroni noodles preferably elbow-shaped
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup shredded yellow onion
  • 3 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
 
  • Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
    Add a generous pinch of salt, and then add your macaroni noodles.
    Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente.
    Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to prevent it from sticking together.
  • While the pasta is still warm, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and stir in the vinegar.
    This will help to add some tangy flavor to the pasta.
    Let the noodles cool completely.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
    Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, as needed.
  • Add the shredded carrots and onion to the bowl once the macaroni has cooled.
    Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta and vegetables, and mix well to ensure that everything is evenly coated.
  • Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
    Serve your Ono Hawaiian Bbq Macaroni Salad chilled, and enjoy the taste of this delicious, traditional Hawaiian dish!
