Cranberry and Almond Pasta Salad

1 (12 ounce) package bow-tie pasta (farfalle)

8 ounces diced ham

½ cup thinly sliced celery

½ cup dried cranberries

½ cup sliced almonds

1 cup mayonnaise

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

½ cup white sugar

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil until cooked through yet tender, about 12 minutes; drain.

Rinse the pasta in cold water until completely chilled; drain. Transfer cool pasta to a large mixing bowl.

Toss the ham, celery, dried cranberries, and sliced almonds with the bow-tie pasta to mix evenly.

Stir the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar together in a bowl.

Pour the mayonnaise dressing over the pasta mixture; toss to coat evenly.
