4 carrots ( grated )

1 onion ( chopped )

Dressing

1/2/c sugar

1 cup vinegar ( brown or white )

2 cups Mayo. I used Hellman's myself

pupcakes, it used to be very popular in the past but you can't find it so easily anymore. Grocery stores carried it and still do for summer salads.

Sweetened condensed milk in a macaroni salad, must be a regional thing, I have never used anything but mayo in mine

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I don't know how regional this recipe is, but anytime someone brings this one to a gathering, I make a pig of myself. Around here, we call it Mennonite Pasta salad. It is so good.
