A delightful and creamy pasta salad featuring ham, cheese, and a tangy dressing, perfect for gatherings or a quick meal.
Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions, then drain and let cool.
Rinse the pasta with cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded cheese, chopped celery, finely diced onion, and chopped dill pickle.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, prepared mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before mixing it with the salad.
Pour the dressing over the macaroni mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the pasta or other ingredients.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh parsley or dill makes a great garnish for added color and flavor.
