This recipe is a fail. The macaroni was overcooked and the dressing was too sweet. I definitely won't be making this again.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me. I think I'll stick to my usual macaroni salad recipe.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of macaroni, pineapple, and ham seems a bit strange to me.

This recipe seems a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll omit the pineapple and add some chopped celery instead.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights.

I love the sweet and savory flavors in this salad. It's a great side dish for a summer barbecue.

This salad is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to use a rotisserie chicken instead of ham for a healthier version.

I'm not a huge fan of pineapple in savory dishes, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The pineapple adds a nice sweetness that balances out the salty ham. Will definitely make this again.

Wow! This salad is a hit at every potluck I bring it to. The flavors and textures blend together so well. It's a great make-ahead dish too, which is always a bonus.

This Macaroni Pineapple and Ham Salad is a unique and refreshing twist on a classic dish. The combination of sweet pineapple, salty ham, and creamy macaroni is a delightful surprise. I added a bit of celery for extra crunch and it turned out perfectl
