Bring a pot of water to a boil on high heat. Add the fusilli and cook for about 8 minutes. Drain and leave to cool.

2

In a salad bowl, add the chopped baby gem, cucumber, tomatoes, olives and mozzarella.

3

Once the pasta has fully cooled, add it to the salad bowl and mix gently until everything is combined.

4

For the dressing, squeeze the lemon into a jar and add an equal amount of olive oil, about ¼ cup of mayonnaise and 1 tbsp of mustard, plus a dash of salt and about 1 tsp of black pepper.

5

Blend the dressing with an immersion blender — it makes all the difference compared to just shaking it.

6

Add as much dressing as you like and toss until well combined.
