I did cut this recipe in half for just 2 of us, used bottled bacon bits, fat-free sour cream & a reduced fat mayo, while seasoning it with lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P! Another time I'll definitely include some pasta 7 stretch out the number of servings! Thanks for a great keeper! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

What a wonderful salad! I followed Annacia's lead and thawed the peas but did not cook them, which was perfect. I left out the bacon to lower the fat content but I can imagine the flavour would really compliment this dish. For me though, the star of the salad was the green onion- it really perked up the flavour. I liked the sour cream/ mayo proportions just as they are. I'll be making this a lot through the spring and summer- thanks Sarahbeth for another diet saver!
