Looking For A Different Kind Of Picnic Salad? Give This Dilly Delight A Whirl!

Take a look at what my pals over at Cooking Up Cottage had to say about this amazing dill and ham pasta salad recipe:

“This dish is very easy to make.  Overall it’s about a 30 minute project with a delicious reward.  The first thing you will need to do is boil 3 cups of Rotini pasta according to the package directions.”

I like the sounds of  “very easy to make.” I have two prerequisites of any recipe that i concoct and they are: The dish must taste good and it must be simple to whip up. This pasta recipe fits the bill on both counts.

Ingredients

3 cups of Bertolli Rotini pasta

1 1/2 cups of chopped tomatoes

1 cup of Thorn Apple Valley chopped ham

1/4 cup of chopped onions

1 cup of Green Giant frozen peas (thawed)

3 tablespoons of fresh dill

1 cup of HiLand buttermilk

1/2 cup of Kraft mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon of McCormick garlic salt

1 tablespoon of Heinz distilled white vinegar

Directions

1. The first thing you will need to do is boil 3 cups of Bertolli Rotini pasta according to the package directions.
2. Drain the pasta and let it cool. Now set the pasta to the side and chop up the 1 1/2 cups of tomatoes, then chop the 1 cup of Thorn Apple Valley ham, and chop 1/4 of a cup of onions.
3. Mix the tomatoes, ham, onions, and 1 cup of Green Giant frozen peas in with the pasta. Then chop 3 tablespoons of fresh dill and set it to the side.
4. Now whisk the dressing together. Take 1 cup of HiLand buttermilk and whisk it in a 1/2 cup of Kraft mayonnaise. Then whisk in the chopped dill, 1/2 teaspoon of McCormick garlic salt and 1 tablespoon of Heinz distilled white vinegar.
5. Now mix the dressing into the pasta and vegetable mixture.
6. Now chill until ready to serve. You can always lighten the recipe up by using low-fat Kraft mayonnaise.
