1/4 medium red onion, minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for salting water
8 ounces elbow macaroni (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
fresh ground black pepper

1
To mellow the minced onion, soak it in cold water while you make the salad.
2
Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat and salt it generously. Add the macaroni and boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 minutes.
3
Drain the macaroni in a colander, put in a serving bowl, and toss with the milk. Allow the macaroni to cool slightly while you make the dressing.
4
Dressing:
5
Whisk the vinegar, mustard, the 2 teaspoons salt, and black pepper to taste in a large bowl.
6
Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing. Whisk in the sour cream.
7
Drain the onions, pat dry, and add to the macaroni along with the ham, peas, celery, and dill.
8
Add the dressing and fold to coat the pasta evenly.
9
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
