Ham Pasta Salad
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling
YIELD: 6 servings.
I "invented" this salad as I went along...it's a combination of various pasta salad recipes I'd seen. It can be served as a side dish, of course. In summer, however, my husband doesn't care for hot meals, so I make it as a main dish.
We're recent city transplants with two young children, ages 6 and 3.
