Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅔ cup uncooked orzo pasta
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups chopped fully cooked ham
1 cup diced red onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the orzo, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water in a colander set in the sink.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, Dijon and yellow mustard, chives, sugar, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.
  • Place the cooked and cooled pasta, ham, red onion, green pepper, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Toss together with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the salad turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.
