Recipe Instructions

Step 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.
Step 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.
