Creamy New York-Style Macaroni Salad

1. Prepare the Dressing

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Vegenaise, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and several pinches of freshly ground black pepper.

2. Add Vegetables to Dressing

Add the thawed peas, grated radishes, and grated carrots to the dressing. Stir everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated, then set aside.

3. Cook the Macaroni

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until tender. Drain the macaroni in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

4. Combine Macaroni with Dressing

Transfer the warm macaroni to the bowl with the dressed vegetables. Toss everything together until the macaroni is evenly coated with the creamy dressing and the vegetables are well distributed.

5. Chill and Serve

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad, stirring occasionally to ensure the dressing coats all the macaroni as it chills. Before serving, check the seasoning and adjust if necessary.
