Lip-Smacking Linguini Salad with Horseradish Dressing

Put on a large pot of salted water to boil; when boiling, break linguini into thirds and drop into water.

Cook until pasta is al dente; drain, rinse with cold water, then leave in colander to drain well.

Meanwhile, prepare dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, horseradish, dill weed (if using) and Tabasco sauce; taste and add salt and/or pepper if you wish.

In a large serving bowl, combine drained linguini with mushrooms, cauliflower florets, shrimp and green onions; add dressing (depending on how creamy you like your salad, you may not use it all) and combine well.

Arrange hard-boiled egg quarters around edge of bowl, cover, and chill until serving.
