Zippy's Hawaiian Macaroni Salad

Zippy's Macaroni Salad

My husband served his LDS Mission in Hawaii and he loves Zippy's Macaroni Salad. I have come to love it as well. We were really excited to find this recipe a few years back. We always serve it when we make Kalua Pork or Shoyu Chicken.

Ingredients

1 small package small elbow macaroni
1 cup mayonnaise (best foods is best)
1 tablespoon finely minced onions
2 tablespoons finely minced celery
1 small carrot finely minced
salt & pepper to taste.

Directions

Cooking Process:

Cook macaroni according to package instructions. You want the macaroni cooked but not soggy. Rinse cooked macaroni with cold water, drain and put aside in refrigerator until completely cooled.

Mince onions, carrots and celery until extremely fine. I like to use a food processor. Once macaroni is completely cool (cold is best), add mayonnaise, salt, pepper and onion, celery, carrots. Mix well. Add additional mayonnaise if necessary, especially before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcook macaroni.
  • Be sure to rinse, drain and cool macaroni before mixing
  • Only use best foods mayonnaise, that is what Zippy's uses...no miracle whip!!
  • Before serving, always finish salad by adding more mayonnaise if necessary, salt and pepper.
