Hawaiian mac salad is creamy and tangy with a touch of sweetness. We love this dish alongside hearty BBQ staples like pulled pork, ribs, or grilled chicken because that touch of sugar and tang of vinegar balances the richness of the meat. This dish can be made two days in advance and served cold or room temperature.
