  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, cut in half
  • 3/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (3 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Rinse with cold water to cool; drain.
  • 2
    In small bowl, slowly beat buttermilk, mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and salt with whisk until smooth.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If the strawberries are large, cut into quarters instead of halves.
  • tip 2
    The dressing can be made up to 1 day ahead; cover and refrigerate. Dress salad just before serving.
  • tip 3
    Recipe Variation Feta Turkey Salad: Substitute 4 cups cubed or shredded cooked turkey for the chicken and 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese for the Gorgonzola. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, if desired.
