Hawaiian Pasta Salad

I love pasta salads.  They're easy, convenient, hearty and delicious; absolutely perfect for crazy, busy days.  This is one of my favorites because I always enjoy a good combo of ham and pineapple. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For salad:
-1 lb garden rotini
-1 (20 oz ) can pineapple chunks
-1 red bell pepper, diced
-16 oz cubed ham
-5-6 green onions, chopped
-8 oz mozzarella cheese, cubed
For dressing:
-juice reserved from pineapple
-1/2 cup mayonnaise
-1/4 cup sour cream
-1 Tbs Dijon mustard
-1 tsp apple cider vinegar
-1 tsp honey
-1/2 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp pepper
Directions:
Cook pasta in boiling water for 10 minutes.  Drain and rinse with cold water until cool. Drain and place in salad bowl.  Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice for the dressing. Add pineapple and remaining ingredients to the pasta.  Give it a good stir.
In a separate bowl, combine all dressing ingredients.  Pour over pasta mixture.  Give it a good stir, cover and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours.  Serve and enjoy!
