I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit at potlucks. The creamy herbed dressing is the perfect complement to the ham and peas. I also like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs to the salad for extra protein.

Overall, this was a good salad. The creamy herbed dressing was flavorful and the ham and peas were tender. However, I found the pasta to be a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking the pasta for a shorter amount of time so that it retains its bite

This salad was a bit too rich for my taste. The creamy herbed dressing was very heavy and overpowered the other ingredients. I would recommend using a lighter dressing or omitting it altogether.
