Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups macaroni pasta
- 3 bell peppers (any color; we like using 1 one each red, green, and orange)
- 5 roma tomatoes (or 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes)
- 2/3 cup corn (fresh corn cut from the cob is ideal; however shoepeg is a good substitute)
- 2/3 of ham (ask the deli counter for a large 8-9 oz slice of ham and then dice it at home)
- 1 lemon
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/4 cup mayo
- 1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to your preferred taste (optional)
Cook macaroni pasta according to package directions. The pasta should be cooked al dente, not soft. Drain and set aside to cool to room temperature. Dice the peppers. Cut the tomatoes in half and removing and discarding the seeds; dice remaining tomato. Dice ham. Excluding tomato, place all diced ingredients in a large bowl including corn, sour cream and mayo. Toss to combine. Add a few squeezes of lemon juice and stir in tomatoes last. Let cool in the refrigerator for one hour before serving.
