Mmmmhmmm! Pasta And Bacon? Yep!! I thought I would just sneak in one more nice refreshing salad before the season changes from Summer into Fall. And, this recipe sounded like a winner. The recipe called for Apple Cider Vinegar. At first I was skeptical, but it seems to be perfect for this salad. Anyway, Enjoy !!!!
2 cups uncooked Farfalle Pasta ( AKA Bowtie Pasta) 1 & 1/2 cups Tomatoes, chopped 4 Cups chopped or torn Romaine Lettuce 4 or more slices of bacon, cooked to crispy and chopped. (And yeah right…. just 4 slices??? I ended up using half a pound and it was soooo worth it !!) 1/2 cup Red Onion, chopped Dressing part: 1/4 cup EACH of Ranch Dressing, Sour Cream and Mayonnaise 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar HOW TO: Cook pasta as directed on the box. Drain, and cool immediately with cold water. set aside… and let it keep draining in your drainer thingy. get a large bowl and put the onion, tomato and lettuce. Add cooked pasta. Toss and toss some more. ( I kept the bacon out of the salad until we were ready to eat. I didnt want it to get soggy) For the dressing: Get a small bowl, combine and toss over the salad. Chill till serving time. BLT Pasta Salad
