This pasta salad was a disappointment. The flavors didn't blend well together.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up making a simpler pasta salad with just ham, cheese, and peas.

This pasta salad is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less ham or cheese.

I'm not a big fan of Manchego cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. It was still delicious!

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to this pasta salad, and it gave it a really nice flavor boost.

I'm not a huge fan of ham, but I really enjoyed this pasta salad. The Manchego cheese and peas balanced out the flavor of the ham perfectly.
