BLT Pasta Salad

By Addie

This has been in my recipe box forever - so I'm not sure where it came from. This is light, so a good pick for those hot days when you just don't feel like eating much.


MY NOTES: I like this a lot but I only had 3 slices of bacon and more would have been better! I used "Rotini" pasta (twists.)

Ingredients

• 1 (7 ounce) package rotini pasta or other pastas,
• cooked and drained
• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
• 1/4 cup lemon juice concentrate
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• Grape tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup green onion, sliced
• 2 teaspoons chicken flavor instant bouillon
• 4 cups lettuce, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Combine mayo, lemon juice, sugar and bouillon for the dressing.

Combine all remaining ingredients

I recommend waiting until you are ready to serve before mixing in the lettuce.

Another dressing that can be used in this salad instead of the mayo/lemon juice and sugar is the following:

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
6 Tablespoons chopped chives


Mix well and toss with the pasta.
