Ingredients
- 1 pound elbow macaroni or any other small pasta shape
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons mustard (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt or to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup ham cubed
- 1 cup cheddar cheese cubed
- 2/3 cup frozen peas thawed
- 2 carrots shredded
- 3 green onions sliced thin
Instructions
- Prepare macaroni to al dente according to package directions. After macaroni is cooked, drain well and cool to room temperature.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, toss macaroni with ham, cheese, peas, carrots, and other mix-ins.
- Fold in mayonnaise mixture until pasta is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. If the salad seems a little dry after setting up overnight, add some milk a little a bit at a time until salad becomes nice and creamy again.
