Hawaiian Style Macaroni Salad

There are so many different variations of making macaroni salad. This recipe that I made is the simple version. You can be creative and add shredded crab or tuna. You can also add boiled eggs and boiled potatos, relish, celery, peas, watercress...whatever your heart desires. But again, this is the simple version. This mac salad is served at most restaurants in hawaii. Hawaii is know for double starching with rice, mac salad and your entree. LOL, love it!!!

* Here is what you will need *

- Best Foods Mayo (Pls don't substitute. This is a must) 1 cup or more
- 2 cups of Elbow Macaroni
- 1/2 of a carrot or more, grated
-1/4 of an onion (white) , must be grated
- a dash of pepper
- a dash of garlic powder
- 1 tsp curry powder
I didn't have any white onion but had red onion so thats that deep reddish/purplish color stuff. You can also substitute with onion powder but it's the juice of the grated onion that makes it tasty =). Again you can make it your liking. Some like more mayo, some like more carrots, and so on.
This is the finish product. Well almost, hehe! You will need to put it in the fridge to cool for atleast 4 hrs or longer. Overnight is best. And a helpful tip is before serving add a lil more mayo. It may be dry and you want all that mushy goodness =) Very simple, very easy, and very yummy. Hope you like it. If you have any questions feel free to comment below. Aloha!
