Honey Mustard Pasta Salad

1 cup dried pasta (I like rotini)
1/2 cup cooked ham , diced (OR cooked chicken)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon mustard (not the bright yellow stuff)
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon white vinegar or wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 clove garlic , minced
1/4 cup smoked cheese, your choice of type, diced

Cook pasta in 2 quarts of salted boiling water until done to taste (for me, 8 minutes is right). While pasta is cooking, add mustard, honey, vinegar, olive oil, pepper, and garlic to the bottom of a serving dish. Add hot drained cooked pasta, ham, and tomatoes to the dish and toss until coated by the dressing. Mix in smoked cheese.
