Looks good guys, another light and refreshing macaroni salad you guys might like includes carrots, green bell pepper and onion  (mayo of course lol) add salt to taste, my sister's recipe lol hope you try it

Recipe adapted from:  

Ingredients

FOR THE DRESSING:

2 cups half-and-half

2 cups mayonnaise 

1 ½ Tablespoons grated yellow onion

1 Tablespoon dark brown sugar

2 teaspoons pepper

1 teaspoon salt

FOR THE MACARONI:

1 pound elbow macaroni

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

5 green onions white and green parts sliced thin

2 large celery ribs chopped into 1/4-inch pieces

1 cup grated carrots

Instructions

MAKE DRESSING:

First, In a medium bowl whisk together the half-and-half, mayonnaise, grated onion, dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of pepper until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.

COOK MACARONI:

First, Cook the macaroni as per the package instructions, except add 5 minutes to the cooking time on the package instructions (you want the macaroni to be very soft and plump so it absorbs the dressing better). Drain the macaroni into a colander and then dump it back into the pot. Add in the apple cider vinegar and stir until the pasta absorbs the vinegar. Cover the pot with a lid and cool for 20 minutes at room temperature.

TO FINISH:

First, Add half of the dressing and stir to combine. Then, cover the lid and cool for another 20 minutes.

Second, Add in the remaining dressing, green onions, celery, and carrots to the pot and stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Third, Cool completely to room temperature, about 30 more minutes.

Fourth, Transfer the macaroni salad to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
