Step by step
Instructions
The biggest time-saver is to prepare the ham, cucumber and dressing while the pasta cooks. After draining, rinse the pasta with cold water only briefly — the salad will be ready quickly and the dressing will cling better. If packing it in a box, leave the cucumber unpeeled and cut into larger pieces so it releases less water.
