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.
