About
We've all been there: taken a bite of the pasta salad at a cookout or pool party and thought, "This is good, but it could use a little more meat on its bones." Well, here comes the meat to make some magic happen! Hammy Pasta Salad brings creamy, tender pasta with the crunch of red onion and bursts of bright green peas, but now with added bites of savory ham mixed throughout. "Now this is where the action is," you'll think as you taste Hammy Pasta Salad for the first time!
