Notes
You can serve ham pasta salad immediately, but it's best to refrigerate it for an hour before serving.
If you are making this in advance, leave out half of the mayo and greek yogurt and add it in before serving.
This recipe is a great use for leftover ham. However, you can also buy ham steaks in the grocery store. In a pinch, rotisserie chicken can be substituted.
Fresh dill is a delicious addition to this pasta salad. If you can't find fresh dill you can use 2 tablespoons of dried dill, or substitute your favorite herb.
