Ingredients

- 7 7 g white granulated sugar
- 40 40 g yellow onion (⅛ medium sized) minced

Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, mix all dressing ingredients using a spoon or spatula to incorporate all the ingredients evenly, then set aside.
- In a pot, add the water and salt and bring to a boil on high heat.
- When it hits a boil, add the macaroni and lower the heat a bit to maintain a strong boil, but not so its spraying everywhere. Cook for 8-9 minutes. Test the pasta every 30 seconds around the 7 minute mark to make sure it doesn't overcook. When the pasta is soft, but not mushy, drain the water and don't rinse the pasta.
- After a minute or so of resting the pasta to cool off, add it directly to the dressing.
- Stir until the pasta is completely coated.
- Taste test and reseason with salt if you like. Serve immediately or chill to serve cold.
