Fresh Summertime Bow-Tie Ham Salad

Fresh Summertime Bow-Tie Ham Salad

I made up this recipe while trying to figure out a summer pasta salad to go with our kabobs that we were grilling. I threw in a little of this and a little of that and the family went nuts! To make this healthier, use fat-free mayonnaise and wheat pasta.
