Foodie Friday! - Melissa's Macaroni Salad

I've mentioned before that I'm not a big fan of macaroni-type salads, simply because I want all of the ingredients easily identified.  I like to know what I am getting into, I don't like surprises when it comes to my food.

Father's Day weekend we went to Tyler and Melissa's to celebrate.  When it came time to eat I spotted a macaroni salad.  Just to be safe, I took a very small amount.. and surprise....I LOVED it!  So I asked Melissa to share the recipe. 

Melissa's Macaroni Salad

1, 16-oz package of elbow macaroni

4 medium carrots, shredded

1 large green pepper, chopped

1 medium red onion, chopped

2 cups mayonnaise (I used Miracle Whip)

1, 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup sugar

1 cup cider vinegar

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Cook macaroni according to package directions;  drain and rinse in cold water.  In a large bowl, combine the macaroni, carrots, green pepper and onion.

In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper until smooth.  Pour over macaroni mixture and toss to coat.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Makes 14 servings.  

I made this in the morning before work and we had it for dinner that night.  The perfect macaroni salad!

Happy Friday!
