SPAM® Western Pasta Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 can of SPAM® (any flavor, but classic is a winner!)
  • 8 oz. of pasta (like rotini or elbow, cook it al dente)
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup of bell peppers, chopped (mix those colors for a vibrant look)
  • 1/2 cup of red onion, diced
  • 1 cup of sweet corn (frozen or canned works)
  • 1/2 cup of black olives, sliced
  • 1 cup of ranch dressing (or your fave dressing)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. First, cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Once it’s al dente, drain it and rinse under cold water to cool it down.
  2. While your pasta is cooking, grab that can of SPAM® and cut it into small cubes. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the SPAM® until it’s golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Yum!
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed SPAM®, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, sweet corn, and black olives. Give it a good toss to mix everything together.
  4. Drizzle your ranch dressing over the salad and mix again until everything’s nicely coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and makes it extra yummy.
  6. When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for that extra pop! Enjoy this salad with some good company and watch it disappear!

There you have it! A fantastic SPAM® Western Pasta Salad that’s sure to bring some joy to your table. Dig in and let the good times roll!
