Pasta & Ham Salad image

This salad is the perfect choice for a family gathering or pot luck. A pasta salad with ham, fresh grapes, cheese, and a creamy dill dressing. There isn't any reason you couldn't add other favorite salad ingredients...small grape tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, etc. Or...How about cubed grilled chicken and pineapple tibbits? The variations are endless...so please leave your suggestions...I love salads and variety.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter and Christmas, and this is a great way to use it up.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this salad. The ham is salty and the pineapple is sweet, and the dressing ties it all together perfectly.

I love this recipe because it's so easy to make ahead of time. I usually make it the night before and then it's ready to go for lunch the next day.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used a Greek yogurt dressing instead. It turned out great! The salad was still creamy and flavorful, but it was also much healthier.

I'm not usually a fan of ham salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The ham is tender and flavorful, and the dressing is light and tangy. I served it on a bed of lettuce and it was perfect for a summer lunch.

This pasta ham salad is a winner! It's so easy to make and the flavors are amazing. I used a honey ham and it gave the salad a nice sweet flavor. I also added some chopped celery and red onion for a little crunch. Definitely a recipe I'll be making a
