Ham and Shell Salad

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package medium pasta shells
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas, thawed
• 1/4 pound deli ham, diced
• 1 cup diced Cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Fill a pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in the shell pasta and cook until the pasta is tender but firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.

Stir the peas, ham, Cheddar cheese, onion, mayonnaise, vegetable oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; add the cooked pasta and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, or until completely chilled, before serving.
