Expert Tips

Whenever a recipe calls for sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt. It's a healthy alternative and comes in a handy 32-ounce size convenient for cooking and baking.

The combination of pork, vegetables and peas in this recipe creates a very nutrient-dense, carbohydrate-controlled main-dish salad. That means for the calories it contains, it provides heaping amounts of protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, iron and fiber!
