Favorite Macaroni Salad with Ham image

Make sure to add enough salt/seasoning for maximum flavor. For this much pasta, you must add enough salt to bring out the tasty flavors. Best part about this salad is that you can totally customize it the way you want. Add more of less of any ingredient to make it perfect to your personal taste!

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

12-16 ounces dried macaroni pasta ((or pasta of choice), cooked to package instructions)
2 cups chopped cooked ham
2 boiled eggs (, peeled and chopped)
2-3 stalks celery (, sliced thin)
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
2 Tablespoons minced parsley
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup distilled vinegar ( or apple cider vinegar)
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt (, or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the pasta: Fill a large bowl (big enough to hold cooked pasta) halfway with ice water. Boil pasta to package instructions. Drain pasta, rinse with cold water and shock the pasta by adding it to the cold water to get it cold fast. Once cold, drain the pasta, transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  • In bowl large enough to fit all the pasta, make the dressing first: add mayo, vinegar, sugar, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the pasta, ham, boiled eggs, celery, onion, bell pepper and parsley. Combine all ingredients together. Taste for seasonings and add more salt if necessary. Chill pasta salad for at least 1 hour before serving.

CLASSIC MACARONI SALAD WITH HAM



Classic Macaroni Salad with Ham image

Are you looking for an easy, fuss-free recipe to make for a potluck? Give this one a try, because you can't get much easier than a recipe with only two steps. True, there is a little prep work involved, but nothing more intense than chopping a little ham and a few vegetables. This recipe is similar to a layered salad in that you can do a lot of the prep work in advance and store everything in air-tight containers in the refrigerator. When it comes time to assemble the salad, simply boil some pasta, stir in the ham, vegetables, mayonnaise and seasoning, then cover and chill at least two hours. This salad recipe, sent in by Keva Colston of Baton Rouge Louisiana, was published in the June 2007 issue of Southern Living and quickly garnered many favorable reviews and comments from readers. It seems most Southern cooks have a favorite cold pasta salad or layered salad they like to make on a warm afternoon. Not only are pasta and layered salads refreshing and satisfying as a main dish salad, they are versatile enough so that you can swap out ingredients with whatever you have in the fridge or garden.

AWESOME HAM PASTA SALAD

I never seem to make enough of this salad. When people see the recipe, they look at me as if I am a little odd...but when they eat it they can't seem to stop! This recipe is great for kids and adults alike. The garlic is optional. Also, to lighten up the salad, substitute light mayonnaise, light sour cream, and turkey ham.
