One of my co-workers gave me a recipe last week for French Tarragon Burgers.  The recipe is from Taste of Home which has fantastic recipes in their magazines and online.  I tried it out Wednesday night and loved it. I only made four burgers but I made the full amount of mayonnaise mixture so I still had a bunch left after dinner.  I didn’t want it to go to waste so I used it on some sandwiches that gave it some flavorful zing.  Definitely give it a try if you want to change up your typical burger tonight.

This recipe is something my mom has been making since I was a little girl.  She says she got the recipe off the back of the box.  It is really simple and delicious.  I make it whenever I have a summer picnic that I need to bring a quick dish.  It is better when it is made the night before or at least a few hours in advance so that the flavors can really permeate the dish.  Also, be sure not to leave it out too long, as it does have mayo in it.

• 8 oz shell pasta (I don’t know why but shell pasta makes this taste fabulous, no substitutes)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp celery seed
• 1 Roma tomato diced
• 1 cup celery finely diced
• 3 tbsp green pepper finely diced
• 3 tbsp pimentos (optional but I never use it)
• Celery leaf tops and radish rose for garnish (optional – if your entertaining)

NOW, follow these instructions very closely:

1. Cook pasta
2. Cut veggies
3. Cool pasta
4. Mix all ingredients
5. Refrigerate at least 2 hours
6. Eat it. Like It. Smile accordingly.

DON’T COMPLICATE IT! IT IS PERFECT THIS WAY. TRUST ME.
