mac salad
Creamy noodle dish
Mac salad is short for macaroni salad—a cold side dish of elbow macaroni dressed with mayonnaise, often with additions like celery, onion, or hard-boiled eggs.
The term is especially common in Hawaii, where mac salad is a staple accompaniment to plate lunches: I'll have the kalua pork with rice and mac salad.
