This Hawaiian Macaroni Salad is super easy, delicious, and can be prepared under 15 minutes.
Picnics and BBQs are the best part of summer, am I right? Make this Hawaiian Macaroni Salad next time you throw a BBQ or go on a picnic. Your guests will request the recipe for sure. Chunks of pineapples, milk, real mayo, grated onion, egg, shredded carrots, sweet peas, and macaroni combined together are just heavenly.
Some people add diced ham to their Hawaiian macaroni salad but some of my family members don’t like ham, so I left it out. I added boiled eggs instead because I would never make a macaroni salad without eggs. I just can’t. I love eggs way too much to omit them from macaroni salad.
One thing I never add is celery. I despise celery. I will only add it if it’s almost mandatory. No celery over here. If you love celery, add it. Just don’t invite me to your BBQs. Kidding.
I like to add green chilies but feel free to omit them.
