Categories     Lettuce Salads

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box (12oz - 16 oz) bow tie pasta cooked and drained (you can use med shell pasta in place of bow ties)
2/3 bottle Hormel bacon bits
10-12 ripe cherry tomatoes halved
3 c shredded lettuce "or" 1/2 head lettuce chopped small
1/4 c diced red onion
1 - 1 1/2 c Hidden Valley ranch dressing
salt / pepper to taste
OPTIONAL:
1/2 c black olive slices (optional)
1/3 c shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In large salad bowl add drained bow tie pasta and all ingredients except for lettuce. Mix and toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Add lettuce to salad just before serving ( you can add it sooner but its better to wait just before serving time especially if you are using the shredded lettuce ... you be the judge.)
  • 2. Suggestion: You can use 1 cup Miracle whip w/3tbs sour cream in place of the Hidden Valley Ranch dressing. Optional: black olives slices Optional: shredded cheddar cheese garnish (approx 1/3 cup)

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Heirloom tomatoes are a great option if you can find them.
  • If you don't have bow-tie pasta, you can use another short pasta shape, such as penne or fusilli.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt will make the dressing a bit tangier and lower in calories.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give the salad a much better flavor.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook the pasta and bacon according to the directions in the recipe. Let them cool completely, then store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve the salad, combine the pasta, bacon, tomatoes, dressing, and basil.

Conclusion:

This BLT bow-tie salad is a delicious and easy-to-make summer dish. It's perfect for a picnic, potluck, or backyard barbecue. The salad is also a great way to use up leftover bacon and tomatoes. So next time you have a craving for a BLT, try this salad instead. You won't be disappointed!
