The sauce is the juice from the pickles. This brand of Zesty Bread & Butter pickles taste like a lightly sweet, mildly hot "chow chow", totally addicting, and this is coming from a person that would not eat pickles until I tasted Uncle Gary's. His products have a unique flavor that is just incredible. Any zesty bread and butter pickle will do, but make sure you like the product before you add it to the pasta.

How to Make Bread & Butter Pickle Pasta Salad

Step-by-Step

Cook bacon, cool, and crumble.
Dice onion.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half and cook in olive oil or bacon fat till caramelized. Cook cut size down.
Boil pasta to al dente per box directions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, place 1 c, maybe just a hair more of your Uncle Gary's Gourmet Zesty Bread & Butter pickles (or your favorite brand) in the food processor and pulse a few times just to chop things up a little.
NOTE: These pickles taste like "Chow chow" with a little kick of heat.
Pour chopped pickles and juice over pasta. Stir well to cover all pasta. Add crumbled bacon, caramelized tomatoes, and diced onion.
