A bowl of BLT Salad With Greek Yogurt Dressing.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

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.
