Peas & Ham Pasta Salad

This creamy pasta salad recipe with peas, ham and mushrooms is lower in calories and fat compared to a classic pasta salad.

Very Berry Fruit Salad

This easy fruit salad recipe is a dazzler: a large bowl of colorful berries served with a cool lemon curd sauce. Use room-temperature fruit in this berry salad (or if you are taking the berries out of the refrigerator, set them in an oven that’s recently been on to gently warm them). The flavor of warm or room-temperature berries is so much better, as if they’re fresh-picked and still hold the warmth of the sun.
