SWEET MACARONI SALAD – HAM

-
Sweet macaroni salad with ham is a favorite of my family.  It is a great recipe for any holiday and is good any time of the year.  Take this sweet macaroni salad to family gatherings, picnics, or any potluck meal and it will go over big. This salad keeps well in the fridge for several days.  You can make half the recipe or double the recipe for a crowd.  I love this salad and can make a meal off just the salad with a couple slices tomato like in the photo above.  You could leave out the ham if you don’t like meat in your salad or you could add another meat such as chopped chicken.  You might also like our recipe for Cheddar Ranch Pasta Salad.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked al-dente according to package directions
  • 4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet green pepper
  • 2 cups cooked chopped ham

Dressing for Salad:

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
  • 3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed

Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl.  Toss to mix.  Combine dressing ingredients and pour over salad.  Mix well.  I refrigerate at least 3 to 4 hours before serving.  Makes 8 to 10 servings.  Enjoy!
