Ingredients
- 1 lb 16 oz rotini or fusilli pasta
- 3 carrots shredded
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 2 cups avocado mayo
- 1 cup vinegar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to cool it down quickly. Set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the pasta is cooking, shred the carrots, dice the red onion, and chop the green bell pepper into small pieces. Set them aside.
- Make the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the avocado mayo, vinegar, white sugar, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Everything: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked pasta, shredded carrots, diced red onion, and chopped green bell pepper. Pour the creamy dressing over the top and mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the pasta salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for even better flavor). Give it a good stir before serving and enjoy!
