Mexican Macaroni Salad

As soon as I saw that this Mexican Macaroni Salad called for a can of mixed vegetables (which I already had on-hand), I just had to try it. The addition of ham made it more of a lunch salad, and of course the pickled jalapenos caught my eye too:@) My honest thoughts... I was hoping it would knock my socks off, it did not. But~I did find it tastier the next day, and it truly does need S&P folks. Overall, I say, if you have a can of veggies and a little leftover ham, give it a try. It had a big write-up at TofH, and you may just love it. 

Recipe easily cut in half.
