Personal Notes:
If you like the sweeter taste that Hawaiian Mac salad has, you're going to love this one.

I started making this about 3 years ago and it has become my go to salad with any smoking, BBQ or grilling I do. Letting the vinegar and salad dressing be absorbed by the macaroni is critical so don't cut the 20 minute times short.
