• 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
• 3 Tbsp. sour cream
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• 1/8 tsp. pepper

Directions

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Invert tomatoes onto paper towels to drain.

Drain macaroni and rinse with cold water. In a bowl, combine the macaroni, ham, cheese and celery. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion powder, and pepper. Pour over salad and stir to coat. Spoon into tomato cups. Serve on a lettuce-lined plate if desired, with any additional salad on the side.
