Great side dish with chicken or barbecue.

Sweetened condensed milk in pasta salad?! You bet! Vinegar cuts the sweetness a bit, making for a super creamy pasta salad that would be the ideal side dish for your next barbecue. We loved the texture of shredded carrots, peas, and celery. The hardest part of this recipe is letting this pasta vegetable salad sit for 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
