I'm not a huge fan of BLTs, but this pasta salad was surprisingly good. The dressing is light and tangy, and the bacon adds a nice smoky flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This was so easy to make and so delicious. I used whole wheat pasta and added some grilled chicken for some extra protein. The whole dish came together in under 30 minutes.

Tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The whole family loved it. The combination of bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado with the creamy pasta was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
