Cooking Salads Asparagus & smoked chicken pasta salad

Asparagus and chicken are a lovely addition to this light pasta salad filled with fresh spring herbs.

  1. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water until al dente, adding the asparagus in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Meanwhile, use a zester, or a vegetable peeler and a sharp knife, to cut the lemon rind into long thin strips. Juice the lemon.
  3. Process egg yolks, mustard and 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice in a food processor until well combined. With the motor running, add oil in a thin steady stream until well combined. Add water and 2 tablespoons of remaining lemon juice. Process until combined.
  4. Transfer the pasta mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the chicken, chive and dill. Pour over the dressing and toss to combine. Top with the lemon zest.
