Lemon Tarragon Pasta Salad
Report
This is the best pasta salad I've ever had. The lemon and tarragon are unique. And how can you say no to a pasta salad with asparagus, chicken, and grapes?

Ingredients
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 5 tablespoons lemon zest about 2 large lemons
- Juice of half a large lemon 2-3 tablespoons
- 2 tablespoons dried tarragon
- 1 pound bow tie pasta
- salt
- olive oil
- 1 bunch green onions chopped, or less to taste
- 12 asparagus spears roasted or steamed, then chopped
- 2 cups red seedless grapes halved
- 2 cups of meat from a rotisserie chicken chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt until it tastes like the ocean. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and then place in a large bowl. Stir in about half a tablespoon of olive oil to keep it from sticking to itself.
- Add the green onions, asparagus, grapes, and chicken to the pasta. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
- In a medium size bowl or tupperware, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and tarragon. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
- When everything is chilled and you are ready to serve, add the mayonnaise mixture to the pasta and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
