This BLT Pasta Salad is made with fresh romaine lettuce, bacon, green onions, bowtie pasta, baby tomatoes and is tossed in a healthy ranch dressing.
You can serve this as a side dish at any potluck or as the main course.
I highly recommend using multi colored baby tomatoes in this salad, it gives it that extra special flavor and looks so pretty. Also be sure to look for a good quality bacon the less fat the better.
I like to make and enjoy my pasta salads all summer long and this one is up there on the list of my top 10 favorites. Nothing says summer to me more than a fresh salad made with baby tomatoes from either my garden.
Trust me everyone is going to LOVE IT!
Looking for a cooling drink? Why not enjoy this salad along with some “Raspberry sweet tea“. Go ahead and treat yourself you definitely deserve it.
Feel free to add a pre-cooked shredded chicken breast to this salad along with the bacon if desired.
Enjoy 🙂

For the Dressing:Pick a Ranch Dressing of choice, or make your own if prefered. I like to use Greek Yogurt ranch dressing, and have also tried "The Pioneer Woman's" dressing. It is very good and just a bit higher in calories than the greek one I use. |
