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 😊
I don’t really comment on a lot of recipe videos but this one deserves one! Hands down best Hawaiian Mac Salad recipe. Simple and delicious you don’t need to add anything else. Had my Fiancé craving this all the time after I made it. Thank you for sharing your recipe! 🤙🏽🔥
Thank you! Finally a recipe where it looks spot on to the actual Mac salad I had in Hawaii. All others had pineapple, ham.. peas. YIKES. So I'm definitely going to try this one!
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.
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 ❤
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!
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.
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!
@@KeepingItRelle3 years later and I made it to Hawaii! Got to try real macaroni salad and ate a lot of amazing food. I still make your recipe whenever I miss my time there. Can’t wait to visit again! Thanks!
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! 😊
Thabk you!!! I just moved to Ohio from Portland, OR and there isn’t a Hawaiian restaurant within an hours drive!!!! I miss my Huli Huli Chix and mac salad!
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 :)
Thank you for the recipe..ever since I made this..I keep getting requests to make it for family bbqs...party..thanks heaps..mahalo from Sydney, Australia
Made this recipe today and it turned out so yummy! The ingredients were simple but impactful. For extra, I added green onions and celery as my preference. Thank you for the wonderful recipe! :)
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!
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... 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
It's soo good! Made it and make it everytime now using this recipe. Thank you and delicious! We also add fresh gala diced apples into small bits. It's an added treat 😋🤤
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.
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!
love mac salad, but had no idea how to make it lol. Found this recipe and decided to try it out. Made it as a side to some homemade curry katsu and it was perfect. thank you for posting this!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😁
Aloha, I just made this amazing macaroni salad and it was delicious! I did use red onion though but gonna try it again with the Hawaiian sweet onion next time . Mahalo for sharing🤙🏽
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.
Made this a couple months ago for my Goddaughter's Moana themed bday party and it was a HIT. So, of course, I gotta make it for church! 😁 Thank you for the recipe!! Much love, sis!
Great recipe! I’m from kauai but living in Washington now and watching your videos makes me feel like I’m back in my moms kitchen! Also your daughters outro is adorable!!!
Thank GOODNESS for your recipe!! Because this is just the right portion for my hubby and I!!! I love your measurements of the ingredients!! I was looking at Google and You Tube and all was for more people! And on Google they had selection to pick how many servings and it all became fractions! That’s what I get for not paying attention in math!! Then last minute I found your video!! Thank you!!!!
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?
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 !)

Minus the onions for textural purposes, this actually sounds amazing.
That's the great thing about some recipes, add what you like and take out what you don't. Hope you enjoy!
U need ‘da onions! Cut extra fine!
@@johnnyhorizon8368 Lol. Or but them bigger. Like green bean size like they do in Chinese takeout. Then they don’t bother me.
Only one problem. You didn’t make enough! That looks so good!

My husband love these, so I’m trying to learn how to cook them
You can do it!
I was out of apple cider vinegar and tried rice vinegar. It was actually pretty good.
Nice. Yeah you can totally use another type of vinegar you like. Just depends on the flavor you want.
Everything goes well with Mac salid 👍
Right?!
Yum 🤤 making this tomorrow. Ty

For sure
Thumbs up for the cutie kid

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?
You can totally add egg and potato. You'll need more of the mayo sauce if you add those. Sounds yummy!
Do you by chance know how much of everything we have to add?
Potatoes egg Mayo and mustard and olives + salt and pepper, simple but my fave!!
It looks healthy and delicious! I want to wrap a salad in lettuce and eat it!
Thank you!
Making this for my twins' Luau themed birthday. Wish me luck 💪
You got this! Hope you enjoy!
@@KeepingItRelle was an absolute hit, was asked by several people for the recipe and directed them here. Thank you!
I never considered sugar, might have to try that
#gamechanger
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 !)
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
