HAWAIIAN HAM AND BACON PASTA SALAD



Hawaiian Ham and Bacon Pasta Salad image

Sweet, salty, smoky and a little bit spicy, there's a whole lot of flavor going on here, and with surprisingly few ingredients. That's the genius of this recipe: It combines a few complementary ingredients to scrumptious effect. Pineapple bits, ham chunks, bacon crumbles and diced jalapeño folded into the creamy pasta base make for a mouthwatering meal that you can probably pull together without running to the store. It's a great use of leftover ham, but also beautiful enough to feature on your Easter brunch table. Whether you're making it for tonight's dinner or a major holiday, prep it ahead of time and stash it in the fridge, so it's quick to assemble when it's time to come to the table.

HAWAIIAN HAM SALAD RECIPE



Hawaiian Ham Salad Recipe image

A light and easy salad to help you eat healthier in the new year.

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Number Of Ingredients 12

Potato Nest:
2 1/2 cups shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
Ham Salad:
1 1/2 cups cooked ham, chopped
1/3 cup low fat mayonnaise
13 ounces pineapple tidbits, drained
1 large celery stalk, chopped
1 teaspoon onion, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard
Dash of garlic powder (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare hash brown potato nests. Put hash browns in a bowl. Drain off any liquid from thawing process. Toss potatoes with 1 beaten egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Generously spray a cupcake/muffin tin with non stick cooking spray. Press about 1/4 cup potato mixture firmly and evenly against bottom and side of 10 of the muffin cups. Place muffin tin on a cookie sheet. Cook until the edges are brown and crisp, about 35 to 37 minutes. Remove from oven and loosen the edges. (I used a small paring knife to loosen around the edges.) Let cool for about 5 minutes, then remove from cups and cool completely.
  • For the salad: Mix together chopped ham, mayonnaise, pineapple, celery, onion, mustard, and garlic powder. Refrigerate for about an hour. Fill potato nests with salad. Store in refrigerator til serving.

Tips for Making Hawaiian Ham Salad Pockets:

- Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Don't overmix the ham salad; you want it to be chunky, not mushy. - Use a variety of fillings to create different flavors and textures. Be creative with cheese, vegetables, and condiments. - If you're using fresh pineapple, be sure to drain it well so that the pockets don't get soggy. - If you don't have time to make your own ham salad, you can use store-bought ham salad instead. - Experiment with different types of bread or dough for the pockets. You could use crescent rolls, puff pastry, wonton wrappers, or even pizza dough.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian ham salad pockets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick lunch. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give Hawaiian ham salad pockets a try.
