Ingredients

  • 5 cups cavatappi pasta

  • 1 cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup pickle juice

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons honey-Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¾ teaspoon garlic salt

  • ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped

  • 1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped

  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 cup cubed Cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup cubed fully cooked ham

  • 1 (5 ounce) can flaked tuna, drained

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook cavatappi in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, run under cold water, and drain again. Set aside until completely cooled.

  2. Combine salad dressing, sour cream, pickle juice, sugar, mustard, salt, garlic salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add eggs, onion, bell pepper, celery, Cheddar cheese, ham, and tuna. Mix in cooled pasta until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
