Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb macaroni, cooked and cooled (or other preferred pasta)
1 -2 cup diced ham (ham you cut from a real ham is leaner than lunch meat ham or other processed ham products)
1/2 lb diced mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup minced sweet onion (optional)
1 lb frozen green beans, cut in 1-inch pieces
4 -6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
12 oz marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1 tsp prepared mustard ( i prefer heinz brown)
1/4 tsp celery seed

Directions:

Mix all salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
Whisk dressing ingredients together until smooth and well-blended.
Toss salad ingredients with dressing until well-blended.
Let sit, refrigerated, at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
Note: Additional vegetables can be added substituted if desired. Frozen broccoli florets or chopped cucumber are particularly good. But if you add a lot of extra veggies you might need an extra half batch of dressing.
Note: It is not necessary to thaw the frozen veggies if making it the night before.
Note: Fresh beans, snapped to size, can be used raw for a crisper texture or they can be blanched and cooled first.
