This pasta salad is a favorite among kids. I make it with odd-shaped pasta shapes like wagon wheels, fiore (flower-shaped), cellentani ( squiggly -shaped), or sometimes just plain old elbow macaroni. Ingredients:
1 lb cellantani pasta, cooked, drained and cooled or 1 lb fiore pasta or 1 lb wagon wheel macaroni or 1 lb elbow macaroni |
3 celery ribs, chopped |
3/4 cup chopped red onion |
1 1/2 cups frozen baby peas, thawed |
3/4 lb cooked ham, cut into 1/2 -1-inch cubes |
3/4 lb cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 -1-inch cubes |
2 cups mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
1 tablespoon sugar |
3/4 teaspoon mustard |
3/4 teaspoon ketchup |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dill weed |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, toss together cooled cooked pasta, celery, onion, peas, ham and cheese.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayo, vinegar, sugar, mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper, dill and paprika until well-blended.
3. Pour mayo dressing mixture over salad mixture and stir to coat well.
