By:
Amie Valpone

This party-perfect recipe is a great replacement for traditional mayonnaise-based salads; it gets its creamy texture from dairy-free yogurt. The fresh carrots, grapes and tarragon give this salad an exciting, fresh taste. Gluten-free pasta makes it gluten free, of course, but if you don't have a sensitivity, any pasta will do.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Rinse under cool water and drain/
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with remaining ingredients; gently toss.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve chilled.
