PARTY SIZE OVERNIGHT PASTA SALAD image

I first made this delicious salad about 20 years ago, when my then boyfriend now husband & I began dating. It was our first Family Christmas together. That was the beginning of a long list of many recipes, that I have made for him over the years. Today I made this recipe for my neighbor, who Is having a Birthday Party for her...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb elbow macaroni or other pasta of choice
1 large red onion, chopped
1 bunch green onions chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
3 c shredded carrots
1/3 c chopped chive
SALAD DRESSING FOR PASTA SALAD
1 can(s) condensed milk, not evaporated
2 c mayonnaise or miracle whip
1/2-3/4 c sugar
1 c apple cider vinegar
1 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. These are some of the main ingredients used to make the salad. I prefer Mayonnaise over Miracle Whip for my salads, because of the extra punch of flavor I feel it gives, but that is a matter of choice. Use what you like best.
  • 2. Cook pasta till Al Dente or according to directions on package. Then drain immediately and rinse in cold water. Set aside till needed. NOTE: LEAVING PASTA IN HOT WATER WILL ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE COOKING.
  • 3. Prep all of the veggies and set aside till needed.
  • 4. Add the condensed milk, Mayonnaise or Miracle whip, vinegar & sugar to a large bowl, add in the spices, then beat or whisk until creamy & smooth & blended together.
  • 5. Add in all the veggies, chopped chive and stir until well mixed together.
  • 6. Pour into casserole dish or 9 X12 size deep dish pan. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate at least 6 hours, but preferably over night. Stir just before serving.
