James's Ham Pasta Salad

8 ounces ziti pasta
* 1 pound cooked ham, cubed
* 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
* 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
* 1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
* 15 small sweet pickles, chopped, juice reserved
* 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
* 1 cup mayonnaise
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 2 1/2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
* 1 tablespoon white vinegar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 2 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS:

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta
and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the drained pasta, ham, peppers,
onion, pickles and tomatoes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, beef
bouillon granules, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and 1/2 cup of
reserved pickle juice. Fold into the salad and toss gently until
evenly coated. Chill overnight to allow the flavors to blend. Serve
near room temperature.

Save water by turning off the faucet while you brush your teeth.
