This is my favorite cold pasta salad. I'll eat it every day, every meal, until its gone. I love the dill and add more than the recipe suggests. This will feed an army. The number of servings is set at 8 but it seems more to me. I usually half the recipe unless I'm doing it for a potluck or company. Refrigeration time is not included in preparation or cook time. From Brand Name Recipes Cookbook. Ingredients:
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits |
1 lb cooked ham, diced |
1 red bell peppers or 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced |
