BLT Pasta Salad

IMG_6013So, it’s getting to the end of Summer, and you’re probably getting Potlucked out. AND you’re probably tired of bringing the same thing/eating the same thing at some of them. I usually bring dessert, but lately, everyone’s last minute go to is to buy dessert on the way. SO lately, my go to has been a BLT Pasta Salad. I mean I love the normal Italian dressing-y pasta salad, but.. bacon makes everything better, right?! I started off with this recipe from Recipe-Diaries: BLT Pasta Salad. I made a couple changes, but this is such an easy recipe that it can be done ahead of time. You’ll love it!!

  • 1 TSP Sugar
  • 2 TSP Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ Cup Fat Free Mayonnaise
  • ⅓ Cup Greek Yogurt

Step 1: Make the Salad Dressing

In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, apple cider vinegar, fat free mayonnaise, greek yogurt, and dijon mustard. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2: Combine Everything Together

You can probably do this a number of ways, but I like to mix the bacon (reserve a little for garnish), lettuce, and tomato into the pasta first so you a better mixture of the ingredients. Add and mix in the dressing a little at a time until you get the consistency you want. Sprinkle the reserved bacon on top. Enjoy!
