Preparation

Step 1

Grill chicken over medium hear for 15 to 18 minutes, turning once, or until juices run clear. Place in a single layer on a platter; sprinkle with lemon juice and set aside. In a large bowl, toss pasta, red pepper, celery, onion and dill. Remove chicken from platter; pour juices into a small bowl. Slice chicken crosswise into thin strips; add to vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper; whisk well. Add oil slowly in a stream until dressing thickened. Pour over salad and toss. Serve in a lettuce-lined bowl or on lettuce-lined plates.
