When this pasta salad arrived on the picnic table, and where it came from, is a mystery. It may have been an offshoot of another creamy summer salad, the potato kind. Crisp celery, peas, and scallions punctuate this version, which is sprinkled with bits of ham and ground pepper and nutmeg.

    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.

    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!
