Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 cups dry macaroni pasta
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons kosher salt (for boiling)
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise (Best Foods/Hellmans mayonnaise, not Miracle Whip)
  • 1/4 ounce dry ranch dressing mix (half packet)
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Best made day before, flavor improves overnight.

  • Step 2: Boil macaroni with salt per package directions, drain.

  • Step 3: Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients (except carrot) and shred carrot.

  • Step 4: While noodles are hot, stir in dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings.

  • Step 5: After pasta has cooled, stir in carrot. The carrot is my addition, otherwise this can hardly be called a salad! (I know, there's hardly enough carrot to be called a salad, but that's all Earon will let me get away with.)

  • Step 6: Cover and refrigerate overnight.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
