    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/25/2008   I made this on the weekend for our weekly family picnic and it was great! I used calorie-wise mayonaise, fat-free sour cream, canned drained sweet peas and I omitted the ham. It was really yummy and my 4-year old daughter especially loved it. Next time I think I'll add tuna in place of the ham suggested.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/29/2007   This is one of my favourite lunch salads to make. It is so super easy, it can be made in no time at all, and it makes a lot of salad. The flavours are just great together. When I first read the recipe I thought the nutmeg was an odd choice, but after making it, I realize it was the perfect thing to use!
