This was adapted from Hawaiian Airlines Instant pot recipe. I needed a quick Hawaiian style macaroni salad to go with my Kalua Pig and cabbage (https://athomewiththeresa.net/2019/09/01/kalua-pig-and-cabbage/) so I gave this recipe a try. I loved it…I’m not from Hawaii so I cannot vouch for authenticity, but my family loved it, and that is what matters to me.
Perfectly creamy, the combination of pasta and veggies were just right as a side to rich Kalua Pig. Make them and try for yourself!
