Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup dry pasta (I like spiral)
1 cup cooked ham, diced (OR cooked chicken)
1/2 cup diced tomato
5 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons mustard (not the bright yellow stuff)
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup cheddar cheese

Steps:

Cook pasta in 2 quarts of salted boiling water until done to taste (for me, 8 minutes is right).
While pasta is cooking, add mustard, honey, vinegar, pepper, and garlic to the bottom of a serving dish.
Add hot drained cooked pasta, ham, and tomatoes to the dish and toss until coated by the dressing.
Top with cheddar cheese.

Tips:

When preparing the salad, make sure to use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
For a creamier dressing, use full-fat mayonnaise. If you prefer a lighter dressing, use Greek yogurt or low-fat mayonnaise.
You can adjust the amount of honey and mustard in the dressing to suit your taste preferences. If you like a sweeter dressing, add more honey. If you prefer a tangier dressing, add more mustard.
Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad to make it more substantial. Some popular additions include cooked chicken, bacon, hard-boiled eggs, or chopped vegetables.
Serve the salad immediately after tossing it with the dressing, as the pasta will start to absorb the dressing and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Honey mustard pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish or light meal. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. The sweet and tangy dressing pairs perfectly with the tender pasta and crunchy vegetables. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic.
