bacon pasta salad

A delicious summer corn pasta salad that every picnic needs from Delish.com.

Bacon, Corn, Spinach, and Ranch Pasta Salad

lb. bowtie pasta

corn, kernels stripped

c. baby spinach

c. ranch dressing

kosher salt

Black pepper

Loved the flavor, texture  and crunch.  I made homemade ranch dressing and added home grown cherry tomatoes😋.  Roasted my corn kernels with olive oil in toaster oven.

I've made it many times and a huge hit with the kids.

This BLT pasta salad is an easy lunch all summer long and a new favorite for backyard barbeques! It comes together in a snap (Yes, even with the bacon. I have a secret to share with you!), and manages to combine the familiar comfort of a BLT sandwich with a tangy balsamic dressing - which does not have any mayonnaise or ranch - and perfectly al dente pasta!!

BLT Pasta Salad

crispy bacon, crumbled

grape tomatoes, halved

freshly chopped romaine or arugula

croutons

red onion

onion

sour cream

2% milk

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

Dijon mustard

dill

garlic powder

Kosher salt

cracked pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Toss in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pop it in the fridge to cool. 

While the pasta is cooking, bake your bacon so it's perfectly crisp. Set aside to cool and then crumble.

Add cooled pasta, crumbled bacon, tomatoes, greens, croutons, red onion, and green onion to a large bowl. 

Combine sour cream, milk, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon, dill, garlic powder, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper in a large measuring cup until smooth and creamy. 

Drizzle dressing over pasta salad and gently toss to coat. Garnish with sliced green onion and enjoy!

Our family LOVED this recipe this summer! We made it several times and always get asked for the recipe.

I love to send this in our daughter's lunch to school! I can make a big batch over the weekend and she can eat it all week.
