How to cook deliciously - Ham Pasta Salad
1. Stage
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the package directions. It’s important not to overcook the macaroni, since you don’t want mushy pasta salad. Cooking it a minute or two under the recommended time, or al dente, will give you firmer noodles that hold up better with a wet dressing.
2. Stage
Next, chop the ham, pepper, tomato and onion into equal-size cubes and add to a large bowl.
3. Stage
Once the macaroni is fully cooked, drain it and let it cool, then add it to the bowl with the ham and vegetables.
4. Stage
In a small bowl, combine the Miracle Whip, Parmesan cheese, milk and salt.
5. Stage
Pour the dressing over the rest of the ingredients in the large bowl, giving it a few good mixes until fully coated.
6. Stage
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for three to four hours, or overnight, before you serve it so all the flavors have a chance to develop fully. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan before serving.
