DIRECTIONS:

1.) In a boiling pot of water, cook the elbow macaroni as per package instructions. Remember to salt the pasta water, so the macaroni is seasoned.

2.) Once softened, drain the macaroni. Run the pasta in cool water to prevent the macaroni from sticking and falling apart. Transfer the macaroni to a large bowl to assemble.

3.) For the dressing, add the heavy cream, milk, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and black pepper and mix until fully incorporated. The macaroni salad should be loose because it will thicken once the macaroni salad is refrigerated. If your macaroni salad is too thick, you can add more milk to loosen the dressing.
