  • Total Time: 135 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • Skip the Ham and use Turkey instead
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Bring salted water to a boil and cook elbow macaroni until just soft. Drain and run under cold water to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  3. Toss in turkey, peas, celery, cheddar, and green onion. Fold in the cooled pasta until fully combined.

Notes

Letting the salad chill is crucial for the flavors to meld. Stir in a spoonful of mayo if it gets dry before serving.
