Ros Macaroni And Smoked Ham Salad Recipes

HAM MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
• Combine pasta, ham, Cheddar cheese, celery, green onions, relish, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well.

HAM AND MACARONI SALAD

Steps:

• Dice ham into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Combine ham and cheese with macaroni, celery, onion and pickle.
• Mix mayonnaise and mustard; then stir into macaroni mixture, mixing well.
• Chill well until ready to serve, several hours for maximum flavor!
• Serve in a lettuce lined bowl, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
• Tip: Elbow macaroni doubles in volume when cooked, so start with 1 cup dry macaroni to yield 2 cups needed for this recipe.

RO'S MACARONI AND SMOKED HAM SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Cook macaroni as per directions. After macaroni is done I rinse under cold water to stop cooking process and cool it off before adding the other ingredients.
• 2. Dice green onions and tomato and place in large bowl. Chop smoked ham into small bite size chunks and place into bowl. Add cooled macaroni and mix. Add half of the Miracle Whip, pepper and celery seeds to the macaroni mixture and chill.
• 3. I usually make this in the morning and later on that evening or the next day I add more of the remaining Miracle Whip to the salad since the macaroni absorbs the dressing. Mix well and serve.
• 4. I have also made this with regular diced ham (if I didn't have a ham already smoked) and I have also added a package of Oscar Mayer real bacon bits to the macaroni salad along with the ham to give it a differant twist.
