Leftover Ham Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is packed with nutrients including alvocado and broccoli with some leftover ham topped with a creamy flavor that gives it a little zing with mustard. If you want more of a zing you can switch from using traditional yellow French's Mustard to Spicy Mustard. 

I have to say I am sucker for some pasta salad and this one is no different. With Easter arriving shortly and many end up making a ham or lamb this is great for the left overs because it is so easy and the whole family will enjoy it.

Regardless of the season or the reason, I love a good pasta salad all year round.

Pasta salads are so versatile because you can use a variety of veggies, proteins like chicken and ham, add in cheeses, and change up the dressing and use anything from Italian dressing to mayonnaise based dressings.

For this recipe we used mayonnaise based mixed with avocado, mustard, eggs, and some salt and pepper.
