Ingredients
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
5 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 large lemons)
2–3 tablespoons lemon juice (juice of half a large lemon)
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, chopped
2 cups red seedless grapes, halved
2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the bow tie pasta until al dente. Drain, transfer to a large bowl, and stir in about 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Add green onions, asparagus, grapes, and chopped chicken to the pasta. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and tarragon. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- When chilled, add the dressing to the pasta mixture and stir thoroughly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
Use fresh tarragon for a stronger herbal flavor.
Add toasted almonds or walnuts for crunch.
Try roasted cherry tomatoes or cucumber as alternate veggies.
Substitute turkey or leftover grilled chicken if desired.
