Boil water in a large pot and add kosher sea salt once boiling.

Add the entire 16 oz box of elbow macaroni to the boiling water and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

While the macaroni is cooking, chop the vegetables: 1 red bell pepper and 1/2 red onion.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 cups of mayonnaise, and 1 can of Eagle brand condensed milk until smooth.

Add 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the dressing and mix well.

Once the macaroni is cooked, drain it and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, 2 cups of shredded carrots, and the chopped vegetables.

Pour the dressing over the macaroni and vegetables, and mix thoroughly until everything is well coated.

Transfer some of the salad to a separate bowl if desired, and refrigerate the salad for several hours or overnight for best results.
