Pimento Cheese & Ham Macaroni Salad: Submitted by: Vickie | Date Added: 2 Aug 2017 Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni pasta
6 ounces cooked ham diced
6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese diced
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion Vidalia recommended
1/3 cup sweet pickle cubes drained
4 ounces chopped pimento drained
1 celery stalk thinly sliced
1/2 cup sour cream plus more if needed*
2 tablespoons prepared mustard

Cooking Instructions:

1. Cook macaroni according to package directions; Drain and rinse with cold water until macaroni is at room temperature or cooler. Drain completely.
2. While the macaroni is cooking, place all remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add cooked macaroni and stir to combine and coat ingredients with sour cream.
3. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours prior to serving.

(Cook's note: Pasta will tend to soak up moisture as it chills. Stir in more sour cream if needed to make it creamier after chilling.)
