Is ham and salad a summer standard in your house like it is in ours? I reckon there's nothing better on a hot day when you don't want to cook! We have finally had a bit of summer in Sydney so we decided to have this regular stand-by. Rather than boring ol' sliced ham and garden salad, I decided to spruce it up a bit with left-over Christmas Ham with "Jamie's Jerk Ham Glaze" (I'm saving that recipe to share with you for next Christmas, or maybe Christmas in July) :) and two yummy salads, Risoni Salad and this delicious Macaroni Salad. The combination of vegetables and mayo is wonderfully refreshing. Enjoy! :)

This so quick n yummy I added carrot n a yellow, instead of green, capsicum as that's what I had in the fridge. I love what my 17yr old said to me ' dinner looks colour full mum.' He really does eat with his eyes lol! I grilled some crumbed lamb cutlets to go with the salad n in 30 minutes dinner was done. Thanks for another quick easy dinner.
