The best pasta salad I've had! My mother-in-law's recipe, improved! This is always a hit when I have company over. It definitely tastes better the next day, and keeps well in the fridge! I vary the types of peppers I put in it (orange, yellow, red all add nice colors). I also use different cheeses, my favorite is smoked mozzarella. Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked small shell pasta |
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked ham |
1 cup cubed cheese |
1/2 cup diced celery |
1/3 cup green pepper |
1 medium red onion, diced |
1/4 cup relish, sweet or 1/4 cup dill |
1 1/2 cups miracle whip |
1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup milk |
Directions:
1. First cook, drain, and cool the shells.
2. Add ham, cheese, peppers, celery, onion, and relish.
3. In a 2 cup measure, combine Miracle Whip, mustard, salt and milk (fill with milk to 2 cup line).
4. Whisk dressing ingredients and pour over pasta mix.
5. Chill and refrigerate. For best taste let set for at least 4 hours.
