Tropical Macaroni Salad
Ingredients
  • 6 cups elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups mayonnaise, or more to taste
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large pot with water and adding a moderate amount of salt. Place the pot over high heat, allowing it to reach a rolling boil. Once boiling, introduce the macaroni pasta into the pot and stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking together. Continue cooking until the pasta reaches a tender yet still slightly firm texture, typically within 8 minutes of boiling. Remove from heat and immediately submerge the pasta in a large quantity of cold water to stop the cooking process.

Next, combine the cooked macaroni pasta with a mixture of mayonnaise, milk, and grated carrot in a spacious bowl. Stir the ingredients together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. If desired, add additional mayonnaise to achieve a wetter consistency. Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.

Finally, refrigerate the macaroni salad for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together. This will enable you to enjoy a chilled and well-balanced meal.
