Attention Plates and Palates Lovers:

For those of you who love Plates and Palates as much as I do, this is a happy day! I've discovered a recipe (Thanks, Mom!) that resembles my favorite Lemon Chicken Tarragon Pasta Salad. It's not the exact replica, but for those of us who because of circumstancese can no longer get there but once or twice a year (if we're lucky) to taste of this delectable pasta salad, this recipe will more than suffice. So here it is! Enjoy!

Lemon Chicken Tarragon Pasta Salad

1 1/2 cups light mayonnaise

2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice- I used more

2 t lemon zest

Salt and pepper to taste

2-4 T minced fresh tarragon leaves

About 3 cups dry bowtie pasta, cooked and drained

1 1/2 - 2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed

2 celery stalks, diced

3-4 green onions, sliced

1/2 cup slivered almonds, roasted 5 minutes in oven at 350 degrees

A big bunch of red grapes, sliced in half

Stir all together and chill to let flavors blend. Enjoy!
