Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅔ cup uncooked orzo pasta
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups chopped fully cooked ham
1 cup diced red onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
½ cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the orzo, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water in a colander set in the sink.
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, Dijon and yellow mustard, chives, sugar, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.
  • Place the cooked and cooled pasta, ham, red onion, green pepper, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Toss together with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

I'm allergic to ham, so I substituted chicken in this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It needs more salt and pepper, and some fresh herbs would really brighten it up.
