Adapted from Gooseberry Patch Backyard Gatherings. My mom has made this salad several times for family events. Very good, colorful, and easy to make. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups rigatoni pasta, uncooked |
1 cup cucumber, peeled and chopped |
1 cup carrot, chopped |
1/2 cup radish, thinly sliced |
1/4 cup red onion, chopped |
2 cups cooked ham, cubed |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
1 cup mayonnaise-style salad dressing (miracle whip or regular mayonnaise) |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon vinegar |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain, rinse with cool water, and drain again; set aside to cool.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled rigatoni, cucumber and the next 4 ingredients.
3. In a smaller mixing bowl, stir the parsley, Miracle Whip, sugar, and vinegar; blend well.
4. Pour dressing over salad mixture; toss to combine and coat well.
5. Mom chills the salad for several hours before serving.
