HEAVENLY PASTA SALAD

Heavenly Pasta Salad image

This is a great recipe for macaroni/pasta salad that we have ever eaten (and I don't like pasta salad). My mother-in-law is famous for macaroni salad and switched to this recipe when I took it to her house for dinner! This is one you really must try!

Ingredients

16 ounces pasta shells (I use the small ones)
1/2 lb grape tomatoes (optional)
3 medium carrots, grated
1 medium green sweet pepper, finely diced
1 medium sweet red pepper, finely diced
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups Miracle Whip
1/2 cup sugar (I never add this because it makes it too sweet)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Cook pasta until bite tender. Rinse and drain. Let cool. Add remaining ingredients to pasta. Mix dressing ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to pasta mixture.
Refrigerate a couple hours before serving. My M-I-L only puts the red and green peppers in hers. I like the carrots and tomatoes added in as well.
