Ingredients

Servings

For the Pasta Salad

  • 1 box 16 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups carrot shredded
  • ½ cup celery finely diced
  • ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced

For the Dressing

  • cups mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup onion grated, sweet yellow
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. For the pasta salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the elbow macaroni to al dente according to the package directions– about 10 minutes. Drain the macaroni and rinse it under cold water until it is no longer warm to the touch. 
  2. Add the cooled macaroni, shredded carrots, diced celery, and sliced green onions to a large bowl.
  3. For the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, grated sweet onion, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and kosher salt. I often add ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper, too - if you like black pepper, definitely add some!
  4. Pour dressing over the pasta mixture and fold gently to combine. 

Notes

  • While you can enjoy the pasta salad immediately, it's optimal to enjoy it thoroughly chilled. Chill for at least 1 hour, or 2-4 hours is even better. You can even make this the day prior!
  • Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to three days.
