I'm not a big fan of mayo-based dressings, so I substituted the dressing with a vinaigrette. It turned out great! The vinaigrette was light and refreshing, and it really complemented the pasta and seafood.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out bland and unflavorful. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs.

I'm not a big fan of ham, so I substituted it with some leftover grilled chicken. It turned out great! The chicken added a nice smoky flavor to the salad.

This salad is a bit too rich for my taste. The dressing is very heavy and the ham and shrimp are a bit overwhelming. I think I would prefer a lighter version with less dressing and maybe some grilled chicken instead of the ham and shrimp.
