    This ham and ziti pasta salad is perked up by the addition of peppers, red onion, sweet pickles and cherry tomatoes with a sweet, tangy dressing.

    List of Ingredients





    8 ounces ziti pasta
    1 pound cooked ham, cubed
    1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
    1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
    1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
    15 small sweet pickles, chopped, juice reserved
    1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup sour cream
    2 1/2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
    1 tablespoon white vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    2 cloves garlic, minced


    Recipe




    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
    In a large bowl, mix together the drained pasta, ham, peppers, onion, pickles and tomatoes.
    In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, beef bouillon granules, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and 1/2 cup of reserved pickle juice. Fold into the salad and toss gently until evenly coated. Chill overnight to allow the flavors to blend. Serve near room temperature.
