When you say BLT, you'll win everyone over with this recipe. It features bacon, lettuce, and tomato like the sandwich, but it mixes in pasta and tossed with a creamy dressing to create a pasta salad. The lettuce and tomatoes are fresh and a flavorful contrast to the crispy, savory bacon. You may want to prepare a little extra dressing... it's that good. Enjoy this pasta salad alone, add grilled chicken, or serve it as a side dish.
