Equipment
- Knives
Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup Elbow macaroni
- 1/4 Cup + 1 Tbsp Duke's light mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Carrot, shredded small
- 2 Tbsp Green onions, green parts only, sliced
- 1/2 tsp + 1/8 tsp Light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Cook macaroni in salted water until tender, not al dente. Drain well. Do not rinse; the pasta should still be hot. Then add to a 1.5-quart bowl.
- Add the apple cider vinegar, carrots, and green onions to the hot macaroni. Toss gently and cool for 15 minutes.
- Add the mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and black pepper to a 1-cup liquid measuring cup and whisk. Pour over the macaroni and mix gently. Check for salt and pepper levels, adjust if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or longer. Overnight is even better.
- Before serving, toss gently to make sure the macaroni is evenly covered.
