How To Make hawaiian mac salad

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain well and place macaroni in a large bowl.

In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together mayo, milk, and sugar.
Step 4

Fold mayo mixture into the macaroni until all the noodles are evenly coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (best if overnight). Gently stir before serving adding a little more milk if needed, no more than a tablespoon or two.
