BLT Pasta Salad
Description
The BLT Pasta Salad uses bow tie pasta cooked and rinsed to hold a firm texture. Combined with chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, and chopped cooked bacon, it offers a mix of crunch, freshness, and smoky meatiness. The dressing blends ranch dressing for creaminess and barbecue sauce for a subtle smoky-sweet note, all seasoned with black pepper to finish.
Gently tossed together, the salad is ready to serve immediately, preserving the crispness of the lettuce and the distinct taste of each ingredient, making it suitable for picnics, casual lunches, or potlucks.
