HAWAIIAN MACARONI SALAD

Hawaiian Macaroni Salad image

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
