Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups cooked macaroni
1 cup chopped ham (leftover ham or canned ham)
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
2 tablespoons chopped radishes
2 tablespoons chopped celery
2 tablespoons sweet gherkins
2 hard-boiled eggs, diced
2 tablespoons chopped cheddar cheese or 2 tablespoons colby cheese
1 -1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon dried dill weed or 1 teaspoon fresh dill weed

Steps:

Cook macaroni.
Drain and rinse well, and then chill.
Combine rest of ingredients and mix well with macaroni.
Season to taste.
Note: I also have found that adding either packaged dry dill or ranch dressing really adds wonderful flavor, but has to be made early, so flavors meld.
Just add the dry dressing to the mayonnaise.
