Ingredients
- 16 ounces elbow macaroni
- 2 carrots, (shredded)
- 3 stalks celery, (finely diced)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, (if using frozen thaw before use)
- ½ cup green onion, (chopped)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Steps
-
Cook your pasta according to the package directions, rinse in cold water, and place the fridge until it has completely cooled.
-
Prepare your carrots, celery, peas, and green onion. Toss them together into a large bowl.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic. Whisk to combine. Taste the dressing and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
-
Once your pasta has cooled, add it to the bowl with the veggies and toss to mix together. Pour your dressing over the pasta mixture and toss to coat everything completely.
-
You can serve it fresh or cover it and allow it to rest in the fridge for a few hours before serving. I recommend this method to allow all the flavors to marinate together.
