Ham and Pasta Salad – a southern classic

Share this Recipe!

A true southern classic, this Ham and Pasta salad is a staple at most get togethers. You will love the creamy texture and full flavor! 

I’m a little late today since I had so many posts that wound up going up yesterday.

I really didn’t want to inundate my poor followers with so much. Today is Letter H is the A-Z April Blogging Challenge and I went for Ham.

We had tons of ham leftover from Easter and I wanted to find something to do with all the leftovers. This, wonderful, very traditional southern dish, was it.

A great, easy dish that helps use up leftover ham if you have it. A classic ham and pasta salad keeps things traditional.
