I will be the first to tell you that I’m not a fan of mayo but this stuff is pretty damn good and not as heavy as your traditional pasta salad. The reason I’m posting this is that it’s key to making the Loco Moco which is still one of my favorite meals on earth.
The key with this is the onions and peppers as well as using rice wine vinegar, this gives the Mac Salad a bit of zing that helps it to really stand out. This also makes a great side dish to take to a potluck or dinner since you can make it a day ahead of time and the flavor gets better
