Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
Prep 15 min Cook 10 min Serves 8 Source

Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup grated onions
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • green onions, chopped

Steps

  1. 1

    In a pot over medium heat, bring about 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to the package's direction. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    While still hot, drizzle the apple cider vinegar. Allow to cool.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, combine mayonnaise, milk, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the carrots and onions to pasta. Gently toss to evenly distribute.

  5. 5

    Add 1/2 of the dressing to the macaroni mixture, and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let stand for a few minutes to allow pasta to soak up the dressing.

  6. 6

    Add the remaining half of the dressing and stir to fully coat. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.

  7. 7

    Cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for about 2 to 3 hours to completely chill and the flavors to meld. Serve cold.
