Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup macaroni pasta
  • 1/2 of an onion
  • 2 Tbsp grated carrot
  • 3 Tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp raw honey
  • 1/4 cup milk (cut this in half if you like a thicker consistency)

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook pasta for 8–9 minutes (you want to cook your pasta extra so it becomes soft).
  2. While the pasta is cooking, dice half an onion fine. Then peel, shred, or grate the carrot. Set both aside.
  3. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain the water and set it aside to cool while you finish this recipe.
  4. In a large bowl, mix apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, honey, and milk with a spoon until completely combined.
  5. Add in diced onion, grated or shredded carrot, and the cooked pasta.
  6. Stir to combine, then enjoy it or refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
