Italian salad with pasta and ham

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Italian salad with pasta and ham? Start by preparing all the necessary ingredients. I recommend choosing pasta with a protein content of at least 13 g. Cherry tomatoes should be firm and sweet. We take yellow pepper (for beauty). Rinse vegetables under running water. My beans and peas are frozen, but fresh will do. Then they will also need to be washed first.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil 1 liter of filtered water in a saucepan (or saucepan). Add salt and add pasta. I cooked mine for 8 minutes after bringing the water back to a boil until al dente (slightly firm inside). But the cooking time will depend on the quality of the pasta and the desired degree of readiness. Preparation instructions are included on each package. Place the finished pasta in a colander and rinse with cold filtered water to stop the cooking process.

3. STEP 3

   

   In another saucepan, boil half a liter of filtered water, add a pinch of salt and pour the beans and peas into the saucepan. Blanch the beans for 5-7 minutes until soft, and then drain them in a colander.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the pasta in a deep bowl, season with olive oil and stir. And even though we washed them after boiling, they definitely won’t stick together in the finished salad.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the bell pepper into medium cubes and cherry tomatoes in half.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place peas and beans in a bowl. Cut the ham into medium cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Before serving, add salt to the salad if required. You can decorate the dish with fresh herbs.

I made a salad based on your recipe, replacing olive oil with sour cream. It turned out to be an original and tasty salad for the holiday, very filling. This culinary recipe is ideal for those housewives whose spouses from time to time rebel against the “basin of Olivier salad” for the New Year’s table. Alternatively, the festive table can be decorated not with a large amount of everyone’s favorite French creation, but with several varieties of salads and appetizers. I chose one of these and took note for future holidays. My family has already tried the salad and gave their approval: the food turned out well.
