Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 carrot grated
  • 2 tablespoons onion diced

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add salt and a splash of oil to the water. Then cook the macaroni according to package directions. You'll want to cook the noodles just past al dente.
  • Drain the noodles and rinse with water. Toss the warm noodles with apple cider vinegar and set aside.
  • In a large bowl add mayonnaise, milk, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
  • Then add the mayonnaise mixture to the macaroni noodles and stir to combine.
  • Add in carrots and onion and stir until well combined.
  • Cover and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight until cooled.
  • Serve cold and ENJOY!

Notes

*Slightly overcooking the noodles will allow it to absorb the flavors better.
*Be sure to use a good quality mayonnaise. I like to use Best Foods.
