A delightful and refreshing pasta salad featuring ham and fresh vegetables, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the pasta shells in a large pot of boiling water according to the package instructions.
Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water to enhance the pasta's flavor.
Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool it down.
Rinsing the pasta in cold water stops the cooking process and prevents sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced green onion.
Ensure all vegetables are evenly sized for a consistent texture.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, and salt until smooth.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Add the cooled pasta to the salad base and pour the dressing over the top.
Gently toss the salad to ensure even coating of the dressing.
Serve the salad immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
