Christmas Ham and Cheese Pasta Salad

Merry Christmas everyone!! :D

It's that time of the year when I'm excited to prepare a meal for my family. There are times when we dine out and there are times we spend the 25th of December at home, but this time we're celebrating it at home. So me and my mom decided to prepare a simple salad based on the recipe she got from Lady's Choice, we both decided but I do all the work :( but it's ok since it's the holidays. For those who wanted to try the recipe, I will be listing it below.

The recipe:

Ingredients:

700 mL Lady's Choice Mayonnaise

1-1/2 packs Knorr Royal Elbow Macaroni 200g

1-1/2 cups ham, sliced

1-1/2 cups cheese, cubed

3/4 cup tomato, sliced

1/3 cup spring onions, chopped

1-1/2 tbsp lemon or calamansi juice

1-1/2 tsp. sugar

My additional ingredient:

1 apple, sliced and diced

Procedure:

1.  Cook pasta according to packaging directions; drain and rinse with cold water until completely cool.

2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients with Lady's Choice Mayonnaise except pasta.

 
Sugar, Calamansi and Mayonnaise

All the other ingredients on top..

 

Mixing all of them together

Then add pasta and toss to coat. Season, if desired, with salt and ground black pepper.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.

To update pic of the salad being served, it's currently being chilled inside the ref. It took me around 2 hours and 30 minutes to prepare this, have to divide the macaroni into two to fit our cooking pot then have to do all the slicing of the other ingredients. It was another fun experience, try it and enjoy! :)
