Found this years ago in a church cookbook - and absolutely couldn't comprehend how sweetened condensed milk and vinegar could possibly be good BUT it is fantastic! I've made this numerous times for reunions, potlucks and the bowl is always emptied.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces tri-color rotini
  • 4 medium carrots, shredded (i use a bag of ready shredded carrots)
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 large red or orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 teaspoon salt

How To Make sweet n sour macaroni salad

  • Step 1
    Cook rotini according to package directions to al dente stage; drain and rinse in cold water. In a large serving bowl, combine the rotini, carrots, peppers and onion. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, milk, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper until smooth. Pour over rotini mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Yield: 14 servings. This is a versatile salad as you can add whatever veggies your family likes - I've added english peas, thawed and drained and I've also added chopped cooked chicken or some cubed cheddar cheese. All these additions make a yummy change. But the dressing is awesome. It's not overpoweringly sweet as it might appear.
