Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces rotini pasta
1 can (12 ounces) Spam, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
1 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
½ cup red onion, finely chopped
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, boil salted water. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
While the pasta cooks, dice the Spam into small cubes.
Prepare the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Once the pasta is cooled, add it to the bowl with the vegetables and Spam. Pour the dressing over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
For the best flavor, refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired.
