Macaroni Salad - Hawaiian Plate Lunch Style

This recipe brings me back to my very first introduction to the Hawaiian Plate Lunch. Confession: I still dream about that day. I was in Kona, 18 years old and completely oblivious to the future obsession that I would develop for duplicating that irresistible Polynesian cuisine. This mac salad recipe is spot on, it's a perfect balance of flavor and texture, and a cool creamy side kick that compliments the more bold and often spicy tropical flavors you'd enjoy with a traditional Plate Lunch. Heck it'd go well with just about anything, but the next time you BBQ be sure to give this one a try.
