Mom's Best Macaroni Salad

“This is, by far, the best macaroni salad I've ever put into my mouth. It has a perfect blend of sweetness and tartness, and it is so pretty with all of the multi-colored veggies. Be ready for this to disappear before you put it on the table! I have six children, and it is all I can do to keep them from nibbling on it while I'm mixing it up!”

Hands down the most well loved pasta salad by my family. White balsamic vinegar is a nice sweet touch too.

Best macaroni salad I have ever had! I even had leftovers 2 days later and it was still not dried out like many macaroni salads become. I took other's advice and left the sugar out completely, it was still plenty sweet.

Good recipe but way too sweet. I omitted all sugar and just added the 14z can of condensed milk and it was still too sweet for us. I will try it again and play with maybe adding 1/2 call on condensed milk and maybe 1/4-1/2 sugar.

Though this recipe is time consuming the results are worth it. This is my go to recipe for BBQ's, parties and pot lucks. It does make a lot of food. When I make this recipe . The milk makes it plenty sweet. With the sugar it's too sweet for my tastes.

Way too much sugar. With all that sugar in the sweetened condensed milk one doesn't need more sugar. I'd advise everyone to taste before adding any extra sugar. 1 cup sugar? I don't think so.

I made this as written for a family barbecue recently and it came out great! Several people asked me for the recipe.

I made a test batch for an upcoming cater event. I omitted 1/2 the sugar and added black olives. I will be making this for 250 people this weekend and I'm sure it will be a big hit! Thank you for the recipe! Delish!!!
