In a large bowl, add the salad dressing, milk, onion salt, pepper, and sugar; stir together until well mixed.
Add the drained macaroni to the dressing mixture; stir to evenly coat the macaroni.
Add the ham, celery, and cheese; stir to evenly distribute. Taste test and add more onion salt, pepper, or sugar as needed.

"An easy macaroni salad. I made it with chicken and thought that was really good. I think it would be good with ham too. It keeps well too so we enjoyed it for a couple of meals."
