Ham Pasta Salad image

My family really loves this pasta salad. It is mighty tasty. I make this as a side dish for many different meals. It's is a great salad anytime of the year. It's not just for summer cookouts. If making for a crowd..just double... I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and friends do..
