Ingredients

  • 1 pound macaroni
  • 8 slices Bacon
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 3-4 green onions plus extra for garnish
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add macaroni. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and pour into large mixing bowl.
  2. Fry 8 slices of bacon and, when cool enough to handle, crumble into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
  3. Chop tomatoes and green onions, add to small mixing bowl. Mix in mayonnaise and vinegar. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Pour mayonnaise mixture over macaroni and stir together well. Chill for 2 hours.
  5. Stir in the bacon just before serving. Top with extra green onions, as desired.

Notes

  • You may notice there is no lettuce in our BLT pasta salad! This is because we prfer the flavor of the green onions as the 'green' portion. You can easily add in 1-2 cups of chopped romaine. Stir it in with the bacon, just before serving.
  • This recipe keeps well for 3-4 days. If you do add lettuce, it won't last as well as the lettuce will wilt.
