  3. While pasta and greens are cooking, add olive oil, sour cream, basil, dill, chives, jalapeno, garlic, scallions, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to a food processor and purée until smooth. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
  4. To a large bowl add pasta, celery, peas, asparagus, cucumber, avocado, chives, and lightly season and toss with salt & pepper.
  5. Add greens and dressing and lightly toss until everything is coated. Sprinkle parmesan over the top and serve or chill and serve.
