Pasta Salad

IT'S SUMMER TIME! What's a great summer dish? Pasta salad. This side dish is fantastic for a picnic in the park. I had all the ingredients to make a pasta salad, so I thought why not make some. I looked at a bunch of different recipes of pasta salad and whipped up my own version, here is what I came up with. Turned out pretty yummy. Since I did use the random ingredients I had, I ended up using deli sliced ham and shredded cheese and it worked just fine. Lets just say that is a college version of pasta salad. Below is a better version. 

Ingredients

1 package Rotini 

1 1/2 cup mayo

2 tbsp dijon mustard

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Dash of pepper

1 cup ham steak, cubed

1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed

2/3 cup frozen peas, thawed

After macaroni is cooked, drain and rinse with cold water.

In a mixing bowl, combine mayo, dijon, sour cream, lemon, sugar, and salt & pepper.

In a large bowl, combine pasta, ham, cheese and peas.

Now, toss mayo mixture with noodle mixture until well coated.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.*
