Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 8 oz. conchiglie pasta
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 8 oz. diced ham
- 5 oz. frozen peas thawed
- 4 sprigs green onion thinly sliced
- 4 oz. diced cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the noodles according to the package directions for about 11 minutes. Drain and run cold water over the noodles. Set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, make the sauce. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, olive oil, salt, tarragon, dill, and paprika to a bowl. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Add the cooled noodles, ham, peas, onions, cheddar, and sauce to a bowl. Stir to combine.
- This can be served immediately. However, the longer it sits, the more the flavors will develop.
Notes
- Any chunky noodles can be substituted for this recipe.
- We used a ham steak in this recipe, but you can ask for a 1-inch thick piece of ham at the deli.
