Boil the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, and let it cool completely.
Prepare the Salad Base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta with diced ham, cucumber slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
Make the Creamy Dressing:
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble the Salad:
Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is well-coated without breaking the pasta.
Finish and Chill:
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld beautifully.
