Raineylane Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Thought I'd contribute to this recipe thread. This a great recipe for large family gatherings, cook-outs, pot lucks or when you want to make something ahead of time to eat on all week. Makes a very colorful salad. MACARONI SALAD 16 oz. uncooked elbow macaroni 4 carrots, shredded 1 lg. red onion ½ green bell pepper ½ red bell pepper 1 cup chopped celery 2 cups mayonnaise 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (I know! Who'd a thunk it?) ½ cup white sugar ½ cup white vinegar salt and pepper to taste Directions: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until tender (about 8 mins.) Rinse under cold water and drain. 2. In very large bowl, stir together the vegetables. Mix in mayonnaise, condensed milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add macaroni, toss gently, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (overnight is better). Gently stir occasionally to blend flavors and gently stir again before serving. Macaroni will absorb flavors. Note- the vinegar cuts the sweetness some. Has more of a sweet and sour flavor. Hope you enjoy.

Raineylane Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 P.S. Don't know why it cut off the "1." before the "Bring a large pot..." I went back to try and edit it, but the original shows it's there. Oh well, hope the recipe makes sense anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
