Ingredients:

Serving

10 oz penne pasta
2 lbs asparagus (ends removed and cut in 2-inch pieces on a angle)
1/2 cup scallion , cut on a angle in 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1 tbsp kosher salt (to cook the pasta in)
1/2 lemon, thin sliced
4 tbsp mayonnaise
4 tbsp chicken broth
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp kosher salt, the dish (to season )

Directions:

Dressing - mix all the ingredients and set to the side until the pasta and asparagus are cooked.
Salad - In a large pot of salted water, boil the pasta according to directions. Approximately 3 minutes before the pasta is done, add the asparagus until is comes out al dente. Now drain the pasta and asparagus. Rinse under cold water for just a few seconds to stop the cooking process and cool slightly.
Combine - Now toss the still slightly warm pasta with the dressing. Add in the scallions, extra salt and pepper and serve garnished with the cheese fresh lemon slices. A nice simple salad!
Now this is a very light tasting salad with a very simple dressing. It doesn't have bold flavors, but subtle flavors which is a nice compliment to a fresh herb roasted chicken breast or piece of fish. This is all about fresh subtle flavors.
