Ingredients

  • 6 cups elbow macaroni

  • 2 cups mayonnaise, or more to taste

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ cup shredded carrot

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

  2. Combine pasta, mayonnaise, milk, and carrot in a large bowl; mix until macaroni is well coated. Add more mayonnaise for a wetter consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Tips

For best results, don't use low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise and milk. It makes the dressing too runny.
