Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb rotini pasta
  • 8 oz cooked ham, diced small
  • 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, diced small
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cook the rotini in salted boiling water until al dente, drain, rinse with cold water, and let cool completely.
  2. Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper together until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Fold the pasta, ham, peas, and cheddar together with the dressing, adding it gradually until the salad is well coated.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, then toss again right before serving.

Notes

The chill time is not counted in the total time above. Slide the bowl into the fridge for at least half an hour before you plan to serve it. Add a small splash of milk when you stir leftovers if the salad looks a little dry the next day.
