To make the flavors blend better, let the salad sit in a covered container overnight in the fridge. During that time, the noodles will soak up the saltiness of the ham and cheese, and the sweetness of the pineapple and pickle relish.To make sure that the flavor balance is correct, taste the salad before serving, add salt and pepper, if needed.And because the noodles will soak up the mayo too, check if the salad looks and tastes dry. Toss in more mayo, a couple of tablespoons at a time, to achieve an overall creamy but not sopping texture.
