MACARONI SALAD WITH DILL AND HAM



Macaroni Salad With Dill and Ham image

This is from Food TV's website (next to Zaar, my favorite recipe website.) I have not made this yet, am posting for future use. Can't wait to try it, though! The recipe also had this interesting comment: Why the milk? When we left it out of the recipe, the macaroni absorbed too much of the dressing and the salad was overly acidic. Adding just a couple tablespoons mellowed the dressing and gave the salad a wonderful old-fashioned quality without being goopy or heavy.

Time 28m

Yield 1 bowl, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 medium red onion, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for salting water
8 ounces elbow macaroni (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
fresh ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup sour cream
6 ounces cooked ham, cut into 1/3-inch cubes
3/4 cup frozen baby peas, thawed (about 4 ounces)
2 celery ribs, with leaves, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • To mellow the minced onion, soak it in cold water while you make the salad.
  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the macaroni and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain the macaroni in a colander, put in a serving bowl, and toss with the milk. Allow the macaroni to cool slightly while you make the dressing.
  • Dressing:
  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, the 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste in a large bowl.
  • Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing. Whisk in the sour cream.
  • Drain the onions, pat dry, and add to the macaroni along with the ham, peas, celery, and dill.
  • Add the dressing and fold to coat the pasta evenly.
  • Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
