Ham Pasta Salad

The lemon dressing brightens it up for Easter and offsets the ham's sweetness, while the fresh parsley adds sprigs of color. The secret to the sauce is using the pasta water, so remember to keep it aside. This is best served at room temperature and is still good even after it's been refrigerated.
