My entire family found this salad ultimately pleasureable. I added shrimp and boiled eggs. We cannot agree on using Mayonaise or Miracle Whip in this kind of salad, so I always use half and half then we are both contented. I tripled the recipe and enjoyed it over the holiday weekend so I didn't have to slave in the kitchen. It was so nice,,,Thank you sincerely for taking time to share this simple recipe. Goes with anything. -
This ham salad was a sure-fire family pleaser. A combination of very simple ingredients that all went well together for a good chunky pasta salad. I used up some left-over smoked ham I had in the freezer. I didn't get 10 servings out of it though, more like 4-5. Maybe we are just hogs. ;) Thank you for the recipe. -
Yummy! Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. The only change I made was using 1/2 Miracle Whip & 1/2 Mayo. Very good!! -

Very good. I had leftover ham and a lot of macaroni to use. I searched on here and decided on this recipe; glad I did! I just made this for the heck of it, something to keep in fridge for my family to snack on. Thanks for a great recipe. -
OMG!!! This was WONDERFUL!!! Used up some leftover baked ham from Sunday dinner, and made this for dinner tonight with burgers on the grill. Only thing I changed was to add a little ground black pepper (habit), and a little extra mayo because my family likes their macaroni salad "sloppy". I think this would also be great with green peas added to it (next time!!). Thank you for sharing a great recipe! ~Manda

I have now made this twice. The first time I didn't have a dill pickle so I put in a tablespoon of Dill Relish. The second time I made it with only half an onion and used 2 tsp Dijon Mustard instead of regular. Thank you for this recipe! -
My Aunt made the best mac salad ever! I never got the recipe from her. I have been looking for a recipe that looked like the way she made it. Here it is I finally found it! The only thing different is she used black olives instead of the pickles. I made this yesterday and DH is gobbling it up! Also I made a double batch, I used the wholle bag of macooni and doubled up on the other ingredients. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
