Pasta Salad with Ham

Recipe Information
Source: jaime Serves/Makes:6 or more Ingredients penne pasta (1/2 box) macaroni pasta (1/2 box) 1 tbsp (15 ml). mayonnaise 1 8 oz (224 grm). bottle hidden valley ranch dressing garlic salt pepper diced ham green peppers (chopped) red peppers (chopped) 1 small can black olives (chopped) Preparation Salt water and boil pasta as directed. While pasta is cooking chop various vegetables (you can add whatever you like ie: broccoli florets, califlower, peas,whatever). Mix mayo, salad dressing, salt and pepper together in a bowl. When pasta is done and has cooled slightly toss with the salad dressing mix, ham, and veggies. This dish can be served at either room temperature or chilled. Comments I like this better the second day when the flavors have had a chance to meld together. It can be a healthy snack after school or for a light lunch with veggies of your liking. You can make this low fat by changing the fat content of the dressing and mayo. I also like to leave out the mayo and ranch and toss with zesty Italian dressing. You can also add turkey or whatever meats you like for a balanced meal. Experiment to your liking!!!
