1/4

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well in a colander, rinse with cold water, then drain again. Combine with chicken, celery, and olives.
Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, oregano, and tarragon in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour dressing over pasta mixture; toss to coat well.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours (I think it is better to marinate overnight).3/4 cup Italian parsley leaves 1/4 cup capers, drained 1 tbsp sliced black olives for garnish
Dressing Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in a jar or container with a lid. Shake vigorously until emulsified (if you don't have an emulsion blender it might not mix so well).
