# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 shredded medium carrots
02 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
03 - 1 tablespoon sugar
04 - 2 tablespoons vinegar made from apple cider
05 - 500g macaroni elbows
06 - Black pepper, adjust as needed
07 - 1 cup mayo
08 - Salt, adjust as needed

# Instructions:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the elbows until extra soft, about 2 minutes past regular cooking time. Strain and leave it to cool off.
02 - Grab a big bowl and whisk mayo, vinegar, sugar, optional garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper until smooth and creamy.
03 - Toss the cooled macaroni and shredded carrots into the dressing. Stir well until everything's coated evenly.
04 - Cover the bowl and pop it into the fridge for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight, to let the flavors soak in and blend.
05 - Mix up the salad before serving. Add chopped green onions or parsley on top if you like.

# Notes:

01 - For the best taste, make this a day ahead so the flavors fully meld and the salad is well chilled.
02 - Feel free to swap shredded carrots with thinly sliced or julienned veggies for a fun change in texture.
