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. 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:
1. 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.
2. Just before serving, add the lettuce, cheese and remaining dressing; toss to coat. Yield: 8 servings.
