  • Cooking pasta in salted water can make a big difference in the flavor of your macaroni.
  • Rinse cooked macaroni thoroughly with cold water. This helps to remove excess starch and stop the cooking process, keeping your macaroni tender and preventing them from sticking together.
  • Chill your macaroni salad for at least 2-3 hours or overnight after mixing all the ingredients. This allows the flavors to meld together and gives you that classic Hawaiian macaroni salad flavor.
