Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, Dijon and yellow mustard, chives, sugar, black pepper, and salt in a bowl.

  3. 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.
