Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup medium shell macaroni -- uncooked
8 ounces roast beef, cooked -- sliced in strips
1 cup celery -- sliced 1/4" thick
1 cup cherry tomatoes -- halved
1/2 cup red onion -- sliced 1/4" thick
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/4 cup fresh parsley -- chopped
1/4 cup fresh tarragon -- chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Rinse with cold water,
drain, and refrigerate.

In a large bowl, stir together beef, celery, tomatoes and red onions
(separated into rings). Stir into macaroni. Refrigerate at least one
hour.

In another bowl, stir together yogurt (I use non-fat), mayo or salad
dressing (I use light salad dressing), parsley, chives, tarragon (can
substitute 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon for fresh), salt and pepper. Cover
and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Can be served one of 2 ways:

1. Place onto plates or into bowls, and pour a spoonful of dressing over
top, without mixing it together.

2. Pour dressing over the entire salad and serve in a large bowl.

This is even great as a vegetarian dish.
