Categories     Low Protein

Time 27m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 gallon water
1 lb elbow macaroni (dried)
1/2 cup onion (diced)
1/2 cup carrot (shredded)
3 cups mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot or dutch oven.
  • Add the dried elbow pasta and boil for 12 minutes or until cooked.
  • Drain water and cool the pasta thoroughly.
  • Combine all remaining ingredients and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • [Notes: I always add salt to the pot of water so that the pasta is well seasoned. The onion in the macaroni salad at L & L Hawaiian BBQ is very small, more like minced. After dicing your onion, be sure and rinse it in cold running water to remove any bitterness. I never measure out the mayonnaise, just add enough until I am satisfied. The cookbook recommends using Best Foods or Hellman's mayonnaise. I often add 2-3 Tablespoons of milk right before serving to make sure that the pasta is moist enough. The original recipe adds one small can of oil based tuna (drained), but I haven't seen it added to the salad when I have ordered it. Some reviewers are commenting that the recipe is too salty and that the salt should be reduced, so please keep that in mind. I think that I just add to taste, but the 2 teaspoons is what is in the original recipe in the cookbook.].
  • UPDATE May 2014: I checked with my local L&L Hawaiian BBQ and they do NOT put tuna in their macaroni salad, it is totally vegetarian.

I had to figure out how to make Hawaiian Macaroni Salad at home because my husband was getting tired of ordering enough for our whole family from a local restaurant. Sometimes I use green onions and serve the salad with a drizzle of teriyaki sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. -Blaine Kahle, Florence, Oregon
