Instructions

  1. Dice ham into 1/2-inch cubes.
  2. Combine ham and cheese with macaroni, celery, onion and pickle.
  3. Mix mayonnaise and mustard; then stir into macaroni mixture, mixing well.
  4. Chill well until ready to serve, several hours for maximum flavor!
  5. Serve in a lettuce lined bowl, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
  6. Tip: Elbow macaroni doubles in volume when cooked, so start with 1 cup dry macaroni to yield 2 cups needed for this recipe.
