Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Elbow macaroni
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Carrot
- 2 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in another pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Peel and grate the carrot using the large holes of a box grater. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, milk, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked macaroni, potatoes, grated carrot, and chopped green onion into the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together until well coated.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and dice them into small pieces. Gently fold the eggs into the salad, being careful not to mash them.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. Serve chilled as a side dish for Hawaiian BBQ or your favorite main course.
