Cobb Pasta Salad

Cooking time: 25 minutes for menu      Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

     I've decided that any lettuce salad can be converted to a pasta salad.  Since the season for lettuce is rather short, this theory works well for the rest of the summer.  No barbecue grill needed for this meal

Cobb Pasta Salad

Total time: 25 minutes 
   This is not a traditional pasta salad. With lots of vegetables and big chunks of ham, cheese and egg, no one will mistake this for a small side dish.  I didn't thoroughly cool the beans.  As I wanted them to retain a bit of warmth I just rinsed lightly.
