Sweet Macaroni Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 package (16 ounces) elbow macaroni
• 4 medium carrots, shredded
• 1 large green pepper, chopped
• 1 medium red onion, chopped
• 2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

1. Cook the macaroni: Boil the elbow macaroni according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool it down. Ensure the pasta is well-drained.
2. Prepare the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded carrots, chopped green pepper, and chopped red onion.
3. Make the dressing: In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
4. Combine and chill: Pour the dressing over the macaroni and vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is best to let the flavors meld.

Serving Suggestion:

This sweet macaroni salad is perfect for barbecues, potlucks, and family gatherings. It pairs well with grilled meats and other picnic sides.
