Ingredients

Salad

  • 4 cups uncooked small pasta shells (14 oz)
  • 2 cups chopped cooked ham
  • 2 cups chopped unpeeled cucumbers
  • 1 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions (8 medium)

Dressing

  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps

  • 1
    Cook pasta as directed on package. Drain; rinse with cold water to cool. Drain well.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix remaining salad ingredients. In small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients until well blended.

    Add cooked pasta to salad. Pour dressing over salad; toss to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until serving time.

  • The secret to evenly cooked pasta that doesn't stick together is a large pot of continuously boiling water. Use a pot large enough for the pasta to move around freely, and keep the water boiling.
  • You can substitute chopped cooked turkey or chicken instead of the ham if you like.
