1️⃣ Cook the macaroni: Boil the elbow macaroni according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool it down. Ensure the pasta is well-drained. 🍝
2️⃣ Prepare the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded carrots, chopped green pepper, and chopped red onion. 🥕
3️⃣ Make the dressing: In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweetened condensed milk, cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved and the dressing is smooth. 🥄
4️⃣ Combine and chill: Pour the dressing over the macaroni and vegetables. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight is best to let the flavors meld. ❄️
Serving Suggestion: This sweet macaroni salad is perfect for barbecues, potlucks, and family gatherings. It pairs well with grilled meats and other picnic sides. 🍽️
