Ingredients
Dressing
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 ½ teaspoons milk
- ½ teaspoon honey mustard
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salad
- 2 ½ cups penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¾ teaspoon minced fresh basil
- 2 ½ cups cauliflower florets
- 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch strips
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, milk, honey mustard, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain and transfer to a bowl.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic and basil until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour garlic mixture over penne. Mix cauliflower, tomatoes, red bell pepper, mozzarella cheese, green onion, and Parmesan cheese into penne mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate to blend flavors, about 1 hour.
