How to Make Chicken And Broccoli Salad With Gorgonzola Dressing

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound broccoli florets and cook for 3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Remove broccoli with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
Return the broccoli cooking water to a boil. Add 1 pound pasta (penne, rotini, or your favorite shape) and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to cool.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, mash 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese with a fork until mostly smooth. Whisk in 1/4 cup white wine vinegar, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon fresh sage (chopped), salt, and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, 2 cups cooked chicken (cubed or shredded), and the broccoli. Pour the Gorgonzola dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra sage leaves or crumbled Gorgonzola if desired.
