Creamy Dill Cold Pasta


8 ounces dried medium shell pasta
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 Tbls fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbls dijon mustard
1 Tbls dried dill (or 1/4 cup fresh dill)
1/4 tsp ground cracked black pepper
1 stock diced celery (or 1/2 cup)
2 tomatoes seeded and  diced (optional, I didn't use it but I think it would be good)
3 Tbls minced shallots
2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
Or you can add cooked shrimp or cooked salmon
1/2 cup frozen peas



Cook the pasta shells according to the package. drain and rinse cold

In a small bowl, add mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, mustard, dill and pepper.
Mix until combined.

Add celery, tomatoes, chicken and shallots.

Meanwhile at the last minute of cooking the noodles, add in the frozen peas to warm them up.

Drain pasta and peas and rinse with cold water. drain really well. 

Add pasta/peas to the mayo mixture. Mix and refrigerate at least one hour to blend flavors.
