1 lb macaroni, cooked and cooled (or other preferred pasta)

1-2 C. diced ham

1/2 lb diced mozzarella cheese or Swiss cheese or provolone cheese

1/4 C. minced sweet onions (optional)

1 lb frozen green beans cut in 1-inch pieces

4-6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

12 oz. marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

Dressing

1/4 C. cider vinegar

1/4 C. olive oil or canola oil

1/4-1/2 C. mayonnaise

1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning

1 tsp. prepared mustard (I prefer Heinz brown)

1/4 tsp. celery seeds

Mix all salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Whisk dressing ingredients together until smooth and well-blended. Toss salad ingredients with dressing until well-blended. Let sit, refridgerated. at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight. Note — additional vegetables can be added substituted if desired. Frozen broccoli florets or chopped cucumber are particularly good. But if you add a lot of extra veggies you might need an extra half batch of dressing.
