Luncheon Pasta Salad
Country Pork


I first tasted this salad at a ladies luncheon at church. My husband and children ask for this dish regularly. Freshly baked breadsticks are a tasty accompaniment.

SERVINGS: 8
CATEGORY: Lower Fat
METHOD:
TIME: Prep: 30 min. + chilling

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked spiral pasta
1 cup cubed fully cooked ham
1 small cucumber, diced
1 small tomato, seeded and diced
5 radishes, sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 bottle (8 ounces) cucumber ranch salad dressing, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups torn lettuce
3/4 cup cubed Colby or cheddar cheese

Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Transfer to a large bowl; add the ham, cucumber, tomato, radishes and onion. Add 1/2 cup dressing, salt if desired and pepper; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
    Just before serving, add the lettuce, cheese and remaining dressing; toss to coat. Yield: 8 servings.
