Absolute best pasta salad! I replaced the cubed ham with bacon. My whole family loved it.

Really good. I doubled the celery, peas, cheese (just used shedded cheddar), and onions and added crab meat and sprimp. I didn't use carrots or ham. The pasta soaked up most of the ranch in the fridge so I added more mayo, about half a cup and more ranch until it was creamy enough for my taste. This is definetly a recipe that you can make your own. Delicious!

I made this salad for a family BBQ and it was a huge hit. The best advice is to make it the night before and refrigerate. It tastes good the same day but it is creamier the next day. This will definitely be my go-to traditional elbow macaroni salad from now on. I used black forest ham and mild cheddar cheese which along with the ranch dressing give it just the right amount of variance without deviating too much from how a traditional macaroni salad should look and taste. The frozen peas are must for color.
