Receta Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad
A nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience. My pasta choice for this is ditalini, a small pasta often used in soups (this can be hard to locate but Barilla sells a one pound box.) Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells.
Ingredientes
- 2 cups uncooked small pasta (about 1/2 pound of ditalini, small elbows or shells)
- 1 1/2 cups frozen sweet peas (I like petite size)
- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 3/4 cup celery, sliced
- 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup pickle relish (sweet or dill)
- 1/3 cup finely chopped onions (or more to taste); Spanish, red, or scallions OK
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Ranch salad dressing (or substitute regular mayonnaise if preferred)
- Salt and pepper to taste
