Adding a few new veggies and seasonings, and subbing an oil-based dressing, made it lighter and brighter.

	Ham, Peas & Pasta Salad by Salad Foodie A nice choice for a summer cookout or picnic, this pasta salad can be made up to a day ahead for convenience.

Or substitute your own small pasta FAV such as elbows or shells.	1 vote 3108 views
