Danish Macaroni Salad With Ham

Description: This salad is from Sonia Uvezian's "The Book of Salads". It looks delicious, although I've not tried it and am posting it for ZWT3.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces elbow macaroni
• 4 hard-boiled eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2/3 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon pimiento, chopped
• 1 cup ham, Danish boiled, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

Steps:

1. Cook the macaroni al dente as directed on the package. Drain well and set aside to cool.
2. In a salad bowl mash the yolks of two of the eggs, reserving the egg whites for another use.
3. Add the mustard and salt to the yolks.
4. Gradually mix in the mayonnaise, the fold in the sour cream.
5. Add the pimiento, ham and cooled macaroni, toss gently but thoroughly.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
7. Cover and chill at least one hour.
8. Slice the remaining 2 eggs into rounds.
9. Place the eggs rounds decoratively on the top of the salad and sprinkle with the parsley or dill.
