Macaroni Salad Macaroni 1 packet dry Ranch dressing mix Mayonnaise Colby cheese, chunked Baby peas Green olives Cooked ham, cubed Pickles, sliced Cook the macaroni. While the macaroni is cooking, throw the cheese, ham, green olives, peas and pickles into a big bowl. Cool the macaroni under cold water. Pour drained macaroni into the big bowl with other ingredients. Add mayonnaise. Add Ranch dressing packet. Stir. Chill. Enjoy. It's better if you let it chill overnight. Sometimes I use two Ranch dressing packets if I'm making a big batch. Posted by Lady croak44
