Mom's Classic Macaroni Salad
Ingredients
  • 16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 4 carrots, shredded
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components and prepare them for use.
2
Fill a substantial container with water that has been lightly seasoned with salt, then bring it to the point of boiling. Cook elbow macaroni in this boiling water, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired level of tenderness without becoming mushy, approximately 8 minutes. Remove from heat and rinse under cold running water; drain the excess water and set aside for further use.
3
Combine grated carrots, finely chopped red onion, sliced bell peppers, and diced celery in a large serving dish. Mix these ingredients thoroughly with mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper until they are perfectly blended.
4
Add the cooked elbow macaroni to this mixture; gently stir and then cover the container with a lid. Refrigerate the contents for at least 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
