8 ounces macaroni, cooked and drained
8 ounces ham, cubed*, about 2 cups
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese*, cubed
1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas, cooked and drained

DRESSING:
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup grated parmesan or Romano cheese
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

In a large bowl combine salad ingredients.

In a smaller bowl, mix dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over macaroni mix and toss to blend well. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. (More mayonnaise or sour cream may be needed.)


Depending on how firm the peas were/are, you may want to thaw them in cold running water instead of cooking them.

WOW thank you so much... I was going to try to recreate but it definately (dressing wise) would not have been the same! That was an awesome salad and it does not sound very hard to make at all! I appreciate your posting it!
