Karla's Notes:

I just love all the ingredients in this delicious salad. I got this recipe from a good friend of mine years ago when she brought it to a summer BBQ.

If you want some you better get a bowl before you give it to your guests because before you know it the bowl is empty.

Directions

Cook pasta according to the pkg. directions ; drain and rinse with cold water ; set aside.

Cook bacon until crisp ; lightly crumble (big pieces).

In a large bowl combine the mayonnaise , lemon juice and the spices until smooth and creamy.

Combine the pasta , bacon , tomato halves and chopped avocado into the sauce mixture until well coated ; chill

It was really good.. And, I have to tell you, I'm not a big dill fan so I was a bit apprehesive, but it melded well with the other flavors and wasn't over powering at all. Have leftovers for the bbq today.
