I am no expert on mac salad but I had the one served with the lunch specials ($6 includes generous meat & starch plus mac or green salad and soda or tea) at Shooters and it was really excellent. Not too dry, not under or over seasoned. Where is your favorite? Do you like tuna mixed in like my dearly beloved?

Re: Poll for Mac Salad - Where do you like?
Having spent my childhood in Texas, I find mac salad in these islands ridiculously bland and boring (and I still wonder why it has become such a standard in plate lunch boxes).
Chopped green olives, celery, etc., makes for much more interesting mac salad.

For "local" mac salad, L&L has some pretty decent stuff. Except I like potatoes in my mac salad, too, and no tuna!

Re: Poll for Mac Salad - Where do you like?
I have no real preference for any establishment's mac salad, but I know what I like in mac salad, and patronize restaurants on that basis. Turns out, people can have very strong feelings about what is and what isn't an acceptable ingredient for mac salad. To each their own, right?
I don't like celery, or pickles (or pickle juice). I can eat onions, but I'd rather not. I like tuna, and peas. I find the "Kauai style" with chopped spaghetti noodles (on top of the typical elbow macaroni) to be a little strange, but just as tasty...

I don't like L&L Mac Salad. Too inconsistent. Too overcooked. How much garlic powder does it NEED? Same with Yummy's. Never get mac salad firm enough.
I like Zippy's Mac Salad, especially when lined up with a chili frank plate or a beef curry stew.
At a party an old friend made a potato-mac salad that was laced with sliced black olives, surimi, finely chopped celery and onion. It was out of this world.
I like to make mac salad, but I'm always on the hunt for a better recipe. My mayo keeps drying up, or getting sucked up by the mac, it never stays creamy. Any advice would be welcome.

Originally posted by MiulangThe secret to keeping the mayo from drying up is to add a little milk to the mayo (do the same thing with cole slaw). I also add s'kosh dijon mustard to my mac salad. Wait until the macaroni cools off before making the salad. Sometimes I add sweet pickle relish, too.

Will do! Thanks a bunch sweetie!

I really like the salad from Richie's Drive In and from Kuakini Medical Center. I do not like any mac salad with onions, so that means I can only eat it from so many places...I just hate onions...it also means I don't have very many choices for burgers since most places put onions in the patties.

I tried Zippy's and it was certainly nothing to write home about.
I like my own mac salad and so does everyone who has ever tried it. They beg me for the recipe, and I just laugh, it is so easy. It's just salad mac or small shells, diced celery, sliced black olives, shrimp, and sliced green onions dressed with real mayo, Old Style Sauce, and Johnny's Seasoning Salt.
