BLT BOW TIE PASTA SALAD

BLT Bow Tie Pasta Salad image

This is one of our favorite cold pasta salad recipes. I first tried it at a family reunion, and it's become one of my husband's favorite dinners. Sometimes, we leave out the chicken and serve it as a side dish instead. -Jennifer Madsen, Rexburg, Idaho

This salad is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort.

I found that the dressing was a bit too salty for my taste.

This salad is a bit on the heavy side, so it's not the best choice for a light lunch.

I'm not a fan of tomatoes, so I left them out of this salad and it was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon and lettuce. It's also a great dish to take to picnics and potlucks.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based dressings, but this one was really good. It was light and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the other ingredients.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of pasta salad, but I was pleasantly surprised. The BLT flavors really shine through and the dressing is light and flavorful.
