Steps:

• To mellow the minced onion, soak it in cold water while you make the salad.
• Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the macaroni and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the macaroni in a colander, put in a serving bowl, and toss with the milk. Allow the macaroni to cool slightly while you make the dressing.
• For the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, mustard, the 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing. Whisk in the sour cream.
• Drain the onions, pat dry, and add to the macaroni along with the ham, peas, celery, and dill. Add the dressing and fold to coat the pasta evenly. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

• Chop up spam or what ever meat you are using.
• Chop celery as well.
• Add to macaroni.
• Drain the pineapple juice into a bowl to make the dressing.
• Put the pineapple in with the macaroni.
• Chop the cheese into half inch cubes. (I have used grated before, but I like the chunks).
• Take the spices and add them to the juice.
• Add about 3/4 of the jar of mayo into the juice and blend it together.
• Stir it into the macaroni mixture.
• Best if you chill it a few hours, then it may need more mayo as it soaks it up. It is really good.
