How to Make Pasta Salad With Gorgonzola Dressing

  1. Cook 1 pound fusilli pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
  2. While pasta cooks, prepare the vegetables: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 cup broccoli florets and 1 cup sliced carrots. Cook for 1-2 minutes until crisp-tender.
  3. Add 1 medium yellow squash, sliced, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
  4. Rinse 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion under cold water and drain.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup buttermilk, and 4 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, carrots, yellow squash, and red onion to the dressing. Gently stir to coat evenly.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to blend.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
