My family and friends love this salad. I use 2 large dill pickles instead of sweet pickles, and I leave out the red bell pepper. I also use small shell pasta and everyone says this is the best pasta salad they have ever had. Thanks for the great recipe!

Excellent salad! I took it to a family gathering and everyone raved. I added summer beef sausage and chedder cheese, omitted the green pepper and chopped everything into smaller bits. Just Delicious!

I served this dish cold and everyone thought it was delicious. Lots of flavor and a great way to use up leftover Christmas ham.

I made this for a party and people said it was delicious! I only got to try a little bit, but it really had a good flavor. I can't wait to make it again.

I didnt have the sweet pickles or beef bullion so I just left them out and it still turned out fantastic! My gourmet chef of a mother-in-law actually asked for the recipe.

I thought this was very good. I recommend that you do serve it at room temperature, as suggested.

Very easy to make. Perfect for a warm summer evening. I would probably add some shredded cheddar cheese next time.

This salad had a wonderful flavor! Everyone loved it. I didn't add the ham as none of us are ham eaters, but I did add cucumber. Even my boyfriends daughters (who are VERY picky eaters) raved about it. This is a keeper for summer get togethers. Next time I might try some chicken or tuna in it and make a meal of it. Thanks for the great recipe.

I don't know why every review I read on this recipe raved about it. I followed the recipe exactly. I don't think it was anything special at all. I won't be making this again, and I am disappointed that I was mislead by all the 5 star reviews this received.

This was very good and flavorful. I followed the recipe pretty closely -- my proportions may have differed somewhat and I made a few minor substitutions. My husband only rated it at 3 stars, but I give it a low 5.

This turned out really good, but I had to alter some things due to what I had on hand. I used a 16 oz. box of tri-color pasta instead of 8 oz of ziti, about 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish instead of sweet pickles and juice, 4 roma tomatoes instead of cherry, and only 1 green bell pepper instead of 1 green and 1 red, and 1 tsp of garlic powder instead of 2 cloves of garlic. Everything else I used the correct items and amounts. This makes a good amount. Perfect for family gatherings. In my personal opinion I don't think 8 oz of pasta is enough, I will continue to use 16 oz.

Delicious! I used reduced fat sour cream and mayo and this turned out well. This is a great summer salad that is pretty to the eye as well. Thanks!

Amazing. I used a yellow pepper instead of the green to add more colour. Thoroughly enjoyed by my husband and son, who both don't usually eat pasta salads.

I made this for my family reunion and everybody wanted the recipe! Only thing I did different was chop the veggies smaller, I don't care for big chunks. Needless to say I will be making this again!

A good recipe for a quick meal! Next time I will dice the vegetables and ham in smaller pieces. I also will use smaller pasta such as macaroni or shells. None of that affects the taste, though. Just personal preference. Also, I forgot to add the relish the first day. So we tried it in it the second day. It was great both ways.

Yummy! I added about 5 drops of Tabasco Sauce to give a little kick (I made a double receipe) and the entire bowl disappeared quickly. My family loved it.
