I absolutely love this recipe and make it very often. The lemon, dill and cayenne make an excellent combo. But I always add more veggies to this. Corn, chopped celery, chopped red, green, yellow and orange peppers. Gives some crunch and color! Yum!

I cut back on the lemon and it still had a strong lemon flavor. You really have to be a lemon lover to like it. I did like one review said and put bacon instead of ham and I also put extra cheese. It was dry after refrigerated for a very short time. The lemon flavor was over powering you could not taste anything else. I will try it again though, without lemon in it.

Oooh, Kimberly, you outdid yourself! This was so good, even my kids who don't like peas ate it. This should get an extra star just for that! I used about half the lemon juice called for because my lemons seems especially strong this year. I also used crumbled bacon instead of ham and green onions instead of red, but ONLY because I didn't want to go the store. Next time I'll use the ham and red onion. I'm sure it will be as good or even better. Thanks!

Very good recipe! Loved the flavors, although I did cut down the lemon juice a bit and did not use zest, because my daughter isn't a huge lemon fan. I did mix a bit more dressing after it sat for awhile, as it seemed a bit dry.

I've made this salad twice. The first time I forgot to add the lemon zest/juice and it turned out fabulous! The second time, I remembered to put in the lemon and didn't think it came out as good. It was a little too tangy and the lemon slightly over powered the rest of the flavors. I also used less cheddar in both dishes. I would give it five stars, but have to give the original recipe four since I like it better without lemon. Regardless, this salad is a definite keeper!

I really liked the blend of flavors, used bacon instead of ham, less cheese and chopped green onion instead of red.

Great spring/summer recipe. Refreshing on a hot day. The lemon, dill and cayanne pepper make this dish unique. Made a few vegetarian friendly substitutions: soy cheese instead of cheddar, worthington's "wham" instead of ham (any vege "ham" product will do the trick), Nayonase instead of mayonase and a sour cream substitue. It's really good!!!!

Wonderful, easy, fresh salad! The only change I made was I used crumbled cooked bacon instead of the ham cause that's what I had on hand. Kids loved it, an everyone had seconds. I think I'll add chopped/shredded cooked chicken next time to make it a complete meal! Thanks for this delicious salad recipe.

Really nice, easy to make recipe. All the flavors went together well. Made it day before picnic and added the cheese before serving. I will make this over and over again.

I tried this recipe, but left out the ham, I think the ham would have made it more tasty, I will try it again, but add the ham next time!

I had to make substitutions due to ingredients on hand. I used mini sea shells in place of the bow tie pasta. Subbed chopped pepperoni for the diced ham. I had to use plain low fat yogurt because I was out of sour cream. I did as the original poster stated and cubed the cheddar cheese. Even with the substitutions, the lemon flavor really adds a nice light taste to this salad. It's a nice change from all those sweet pasta salads. I think it will taste even better after being refrigerated for a few hours.

This was even better than I hoped for. I had a store bought version and it left me wanting for more. I thought I'd see if allrecipes had anything like it. This is so much better. I love the addition of lemon. It makes it so bright and springy. I was a little concerned about it being too much liquid because the dressing was very runny, however it really firms up in the refrigerator. The only changes I made were using elbow macaroni, green onions instead of red, omitting the ham and using 1 tsp. of dill instead of 1 tablespoon. It was delicious and the lemon juice and zest really made the dish for me. Also, if you're making it to serve immediately and don't have thawed peas, just soak them in hot water for a few minutes and drain. They thaw right out, but don't get cooked. Thanks so much for the delicious new recipe. This will be perfect for summer potlucks and bbqs.

made this for the fam last week, seemed like a good 'it's spring!' meal... everyone loved it... we used low-fat mayo and sour cream, didn't affect the overall flavor... also, next time we make it we'll probably use 1/2 as much cheese as 8 oz is more than enough... enjoy!...
