BLT Pasta Salad
Description
BLT Pasta Salad features cooked and cooled pasta tossed with crisp bacon pieces, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and romaine lettuce. The creamy dressing made with mayonnaise and ranch dressing coats the ingredients, melding their flavors together. The salad maintains a pleasing contrast between the tender pasta and crisp vegetables and bacon.
The salad is served cold and garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and mild herb freshness. It's an accessible option for potlucks, picnics, or casual meals when a flavorful pasta salad is desired. You can prepare the dressing ahead and toss it with the salad just before serving to keep the lettuce fresh.
