This salad is a complete meal, or it can be served as a side dish. When I was young, this was the only salad dressing my mother ever made.

Ingredients

6 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups cooked elbow macaroni
3 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
1-1/4 cups cubed fully cooked ham
1 cup (4 ounces) cubed process cheese (Velveeta)
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 cup sweet pickle relish
3/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
1/3 cup mayonnaise

Directions

In a saucepan, combine the beaten eggs, sugar, vinegar and salt; cook and stir over low heat for 10 minutes or until mixture is thickened and a thermometer reads 160°. Cool completely, stirring several times.
In a bowl, combine the macaroni, hard-boiled eggs, ham, cheese, celery, onion, pickle relish and olives. Stir mayonnaise into cooled egg mixture; pour over macaroni mixture. Stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

I prepared this yesterday. It is a real winner. I substituted grated LOL white cheese for the Velveeta. This is a real keeper for me.
