Cook pasta al dente per package directions.
Drain cooked pasta; rinse briefly under cold running water; shake colander gently to drain; set aside.
Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, salt, and pepper together; whisk in the vinegar; set aside.
Place the drained pasta in a large bowl; add in the lobster, celery, green onions, lemon juice and tarragon; toss gently to mix.
Pour the dressing over the mixture; toss gently but thoroughly to mix.
Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours to 8 hours.
If refrigerating the salad for 8 hours or more, add a small amount of mayonnaise. The pasta will absorb the dressing over a long period of time and may get a little dry.
Serve chilled. Garnish with lemon slices.
** Two 1 1/4 lb. lobsters are needed to produce 2 cups of lobster meat.
Serves 4-6.
