UPDATE: So many of you have asked..where do I get lemon-pepper pasta?...I have found it at higher end stores. Or places like Trader Joe, Whole Foods or Fresh Market...it can be hard to find but it's worth the "hunt". Also, some of you have asked if you can eliminate "buttermilk"...NO! You will not even know it's there..trust me!Stir and Season Saturday
Today, I am posting my favorite "pasta salad". I had this at a mother/daughter banquet years ago..before I even had a daughter! I think I was serving at it! It is so delicious..don't let some of the ingredients scare you...you won't even know it is there {buttermilk}!
Lemon-Dill Chicken Salad
5 boneless skinless chicken breast, boiled and chopped up
1 1/2 cup chopped celery
1 box of lemon-pepper pasta
2 1/2 cups of mayo ( just enough to make everything stick)
1/4 cup of lemon juice
2 tsp. dill weed
1 cup buttermilk
salt to taste
Cook chicken and cube. Boil pasta just until done and rinse under cold water. Toss together chicken, pasta and celery. Mix together mayo, dill and lemon juice. Add wet ingredients to chicken mixture. Add buttermilk last. Salt to taste! Put in frig and chill...enjoy with fresh fruit on the side.

This sounds really, really good. But where does one find Lemon-Pepper Pasta? I've never heard of it.
Sounds like something I will definitely try. Though, I am hoping that you can't taste the buttermilk. lol! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Have a great weekend!
That sounds so good. I'll definitely copy down this recipe.
Sounds amazing to me. I really want to try it. Sounds like it would be perfect for a shower.

It sounds delish. I love pasta of any kind. Buttermilk is in ranch dressing so what's weird about that? Mimi
wish I liked dill, can I make it without dill?
It sounds so good, but I've never seen lemon-pepper pasta. I may have to try it with plain pasta.
That does so yummy! Ok I printed this out and added to my recipes...I have made Lemon Pepper Chicken in the oven so this must be just as good.
Yummy! This would be a great dish for a girls luncheon next month. Thanks for sharing!

Oh I'm hungry, thanks for the new recipe, I am trying to make new things for the family... they love anything with noodles.... this could be a new favorite at LuLu & Co.
Have a great Saturday,

I am a huge pasta lover, so this is definitly something I'm going to have to try. I wish I had a big plate of it right now, in fact!
Happy Saturday, my friend!
Oh this recipe sounds really good Sandy but tell me where do I get lemon pepper pasta???? I will be making this if I can find some... Have a wonderful day
(((HUGS)))

Yummm! Buttermilk does not scare me at all. I use it in a lot of dishes but it does scare me to have a big glass of it! Have a nice Saturday!
Yummy! I can use the rest of the buttermilk to make some of the original Ranch dressing. I just did an impromptu thing last week that turned out surprisingly well. Chopped chicken breast, jar of alfredo sauce (I use Bertolli's), and a can of Rotel, mixed in with cooked linguine. It's good hot OR cold! not sure what to call it, though...
Oh Sandy, this looks like a keeper, I'll copy it into my floder. Thaks
Hugs,
Chris
This sounds great! I think I'll write down the recipe right now and put it on the menu for next week.
Thanks!
Sounds super yummy! But I also have never seen Lemon Pepper Pasta.
so little time...but for this, we have to revamp the schedule!
Oh my goodness, that sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing your recipe! I could live on pasta salad. :o)

That sounds good. It's different.
Oh, I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
This sounds super yummy! Did you know that you can also make a buttermilk substitute with vinegar and milk (not sure about the measurements...sorry)? I don't usually keep buttermilk in the house so I've done it a few times. Thanks for sharing!
Yayyyyy! We have fresh lemon pepper pasta in the deli at our local IGA!
This sounds wonderful and I just so happen to have some buttermilk!
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Sandy, this looks wonderful! I'll have to try it. Thanks!
Happy Sunday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Yum!
I can't wait to try it! YUMMY!!!!
I wanted to let you know that I made this today. My daughter was baptized and afterwards I had some family and friends over. This dish is delicious! Everyone went crazy over it. I had a dozen people over and everyone had at least 2 servings, so this recipe makes a good bit. I served some marinated tomatoes on the side and I some Sister Schubert's yeast rolls. Yum! Yum! Thanks for sharing and it will definitely be on our favorites list! Oh, and I did give you all the credit for the pasta dish. Also, I could not find the lemon-pepper pasta so I used penne.
ALL of our friends back home love this pasta!!
I think i will make it this week for lunch !
Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking the same thing, but felt too dumb to ask!
That looks seriously tasty! Thanks for sharing, I will definately have to try this one :) Have you tried doing it with Lemon Pepper Rotiserre Chicken from the market as a short cut?
That really sounds delicious! I wonder if it would taste good with plain pasta, and some extra lemon and pepper thrown in? :)
Yummmy! I was just thinking of just what to cook for dinner! Thanks!
