Sweet macaroni salad with ham is a favorite of my family. It is a great recipe for any holiday and is good anytime of the year. Take this sweet macaroni salad to family gatherings, picnics, or any potluck meal and it will go over big. This salad keeps well in the fridge for several days. You can make half the recipe or double the recipe for a crowd. I love this salad and can make a meal off just the salad. You might also like our recipe for Cheddar Ranch Pasta Salad.

This is a very versatile pasta salad. You could always use cooked chicken, shrimp or even crab. We love pasta salads that you can switch up but the taste is still great. Add a fresh tomato on the side for a wonderful summer treat! This salad is a great side dish to barbecue chicken, grilled pork chops, burgers, etc.
