I omitted the ham, and used light sour cream and light mayo. This salad was great, and kept wonderfully for lunch the next day too. Will definitely make again - probably for a picnic!

you got our attention. I caught my husband and daughter scraping the bowl clean. we have made this many times and the shape of pasta doesn't matter but we use whole wheat pasta if that matters.

Not particularly unique; but still a nice, pleasant pasta salad freshened with lemon (I cut back significantly and just used juice) and kept moist with the addition of a little olive oil. In keeping with Hubs' preferences, I skipped the cayenne and added the crunch of celery he so loves in pasta salads. Since he will eating this at the office for lunch, I swapped out the red onion for fresh chives for obvious reasons. For a little extra flavor I added some Penzey's Buttermilk Dressing Seasoning.

I feel the need to not only review this recipe (which I thought was very good), but also to say it's not fair to give a recipe a low rating, simply based on nutritional content.The secret to a healthy lifestyle is not denying yourself what you really want -- if you want a calorie laden meal - then go for it. I love a piece of cheesecake now and then! In other words, we're big kids, we can make our own choices, thank you very much!

This salad sounds good, but I cannot imagine eating a salad that is over 800 calories, even if it was your whole meal! Then, there is the fat & cholesterol, in signifigant amounts. Reduced calorie products might not even bring it down enough.

Sounds wonderful. I bet using shrimp instead of ham would really be good. Can't wait to try !!!!!

Wonderful spring or summer salad -- thanks! Serve with grilled chicken or cold sliced ham and you have dinner in a flash... and no hot kitchen!

This had a wonderful fresh taste. I didn't add the lemon zest (was worried about a too lemony taste) - but I did everything else exactly like the recipe. Everyone enjoyed it at the potluck I brought it to. Highly recommend!
