One small spoon of salt, a quarter cup of sugar, and half a small spoon of ground pepper.
How to follow the rules.
Follow the package instructions and cook the macaroni until it is slightly soft. After removing extra liquid, allow it to cool.

In another small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, milk, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
4. Put the sauce on top of the macaroni mix and mix well to cover everything evenly.

Changes and Tips
To change things up, you could include chopped boiled eggs or cooked and crumbled bacon to make it more flavorful. Some people enjoy adding grated cheddar cheese or a mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise to change the texture of the dressing. For a healthier option, use low-fat mayonnaise or a mix of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise.
