Pasta Salad with Broccoli, Cheese and Ham, American Style Recipe
This is a hearty American-style pasta salad: pieces of broccoli, cubes of cheese, ham and pasta in a creamy yogurt-mayonnaise dressing. It often appears at house parties and potlucks, where everyone brings a dish to share. It’s convenient because you can prepare it in advance and let it sit in the fridge until the guests arrive.

Ingredients
- pasta - 300 g
- broccoli - 250 g
- ham - 200 g
- yellow cheese - 150 g
- plain yogurt - 150 g
- mayonnaise - 80 g
- mustard - 10 g
- lemon juice - 10 ml
- chives - 3 tablespoons
- salt - 1 teaspoon
- black pepper - 0.5 teaspoons
Main Ingredient:
pasta
Preparation
- Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions until al dente, meaning soft but still slightly firm to the bite. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
- Divide the broccoli into small florets. Drop them into boiling, lightly salted water for 3–4 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and rinse with cold water so they keep their color.
- Cut the ham into cubes about 1 cm in size. Cut the yellow cheese into similar-sized cubes.
- Finely chop the chives.
- In a large bowl, make the dressing: mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper until you get a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Add the pasta, broccoli, ham, cheese and chives to the bowl with the dressing. Gently but thoroughly mix so the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
- Taste the salad and, if needed, season with extra salt, pepper or lemon juice. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors meld together.

Sałatkę przechowuj w lodówce w szczelnym pojemniku. Przed podaniem wymieszaj, bo sos może lekko opaść na dno. Jeśli po 2–3 dniach sos wydaje się zbyt gęsty, dodaj łyżkę jogurtu i ponownie wymieszaj.
