The spinach gorgonzola pasta salad&#39;s flavor will taste much better if chilled for at least an hour before serving.  Enjoy!

For the salad

I love this salad exactly as written. It’s perfect texture, taste and freshness. It’s great for potlucks too because you don’t have to worry about keeping it hot. I’ve made it multiple times and it’s been a hit each time.

This is unreasonably delicious, like why is it so good!? I'm addicted. I'm eating it for lunch all week. I never leave recipe reviews but this one really surprised me. So simple, so freakin good. 🤤 Thank you so much!!!

Everyone in my family loves this salad! Gorgonzola cheese is hard to find in my rural area, so I usually use half feta and half blue cheese, both crumbled. I've also used all feta, and the salad still tasted fantastic. The texture of the bowtie pasta pairs perfectly with the flat spinach leaves. The dressing is delicious! I also use it in regular green salad.
