Notes

  • Chill the ingredients — Chilling the ingredient mixture is crucial. While if you are short on time, you can get away with one or two hours of chilling. But, the true power of L&L Hawaiian’s macaroni salad recipe lies in chilling the mixture overnight.
 
  • Don’t skip on salt — The macaroni is, at the end of the day, the heart of this recipe so you’d want to make sure that it is done right. Although some might just skip the part where it is advised to salt the pasta water, we’d recommend sticking to it. This will improve your macaroni in a big way.
