    Place the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Makes about 2-1/2 cups.

    While the pasta is cooking prepare the ham, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, onion, olives, crumbled Roquefort and lettuce. Then prepare the salad dressing. Lightly toss together the pasta and other salad ingredients. Serve with the dressing.

    Makes about 10 to 12 servings
