Orzo Ham Salad

Ingredients

• 0.67 cups uncooked orzo pasta
• 0.25 cups mayonnaise
• 0.25 cups sour cream
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoons white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.5 cups chopped fully cooked ham
• 1 cup diced red onion
• 0.5 cups chopped green bell pepper
• 0.5 cups halved cherry or grape tomatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the orzo, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water in a colander set in the sink.

2. 2

   Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, Dijon and yellow mustard, chives, sugar, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.

3. 3

   Place the cooked and cooled pasta, ham, red onion, green pepper, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Toss together with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
