How To Make blt pasta salad

Step 1

Cook the pasta al dente according to package directions and drain well. Lightly rinse with cold water and drain again.

Step 2

Mix the mayo, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh chives, dill, basil, and parsley in a medium bowl.
Step 3

Remove the husks and silks from the corn. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn directly on the grill and cook 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Let the corn cool and cut the kernels from the cob.
Step 4

Add the cooked and drained rotini, cooked and chopped bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, corn, and hard-boiled eggs to a large bowl.
Step 5

Pour the dressing over the top and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
