    List of Ingredients




    1 3/4 cups farfalle pasta
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    1/2 cup sour cream
    2 tablespoons cider vinegar
    1 1/2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard
    1 teaspoon white sugar
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 cups seedless green grapes, halved
    2 cups diced ham
    1/2 cup chopped green onions
    1 1/2 cups diced sharp Cheddar cheese

    Recipe



    Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain, and rinse in cold water. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, mustard, sugar, black pepper, dill weed, and salt. In a large bowl, combine pasta, grapes, ham, green onions, and cheese. Toss with dressing. Cover, and chill overnight or for at least 6 hours.


    Reviewer's Suggestions:

    Sea shell shaped pasta holds up better.
    Double the dressing - too dry without it.
    Replace cider vinegar with lemon juice.
