For a hearty warm-weather meal for two, Evelyn Kennell of Roanoke, Illinois suggests her pasta salad flavored with ham, crunchy celery and a creamy dressing. Ingredients:
3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni |
2 large tomatoes |
1/2 cup diced deli ham |
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
2 tablespoons chopped celery |
3 tablespoons mayonnaise |
3 tablespoons sour cream |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
lettuce leaves, optional |
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/2-in. shell. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain.
2. Drain macaroni and rinse in cold water. In a bowl, combine the macaroni, ham, cheese and celery.
3. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion powder and pepper. Pour over salad and stir to coat. Spoon into tomato cups. Serve on a lettuce-lined plate if desired with any additional salad on the side. Yield: 2 servings.
