Instructions

  1. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Rinse under cold water until completely cool. Drain well and place in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle on vinegar. Add carrot and onion. Toss together until well combined. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until cooled.
  3. In a separate, small bowl, whisk together mayo, milk, and sugar. Fold the mayo mixture into the macaroni until all the noodles are evenly coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (best if overnight).
  5. Gently stir before serving, add a little more milk if needed, no more than a tablespoon or two.

Notes

  • I like to put my boiled macaroni and ingredients directly in a Tupperware bowl with a lid so I can easily refrigerate it. 
  • Make sure you use Best Foods or Hellmann's mayonnaise-no substitutes!
