Make sure to REPIN this recipe 🙂
It is warmer up outside so I have been working on a ton of dishes that can be served cold – especially taking to a picnic…. You know you do not want to be the person bring that potato salad from the store…. You want to be the person who everyone is asking ” can I get our recipe 😉 ” — well… maybe it is just me.
My dad loves BLT sandwiches – It is a sandwich made with bacon, lettuce and tomato — so I decided to take my spin on it
I used pasta instead of a bread base —- little fact for you my favorite shape of pasta is shells 🙂 – the more you know
Now back to the recipe – What is great out it is that it can be put together in a quick hurry and it really is easy
I ended up using ranch dressing to tie everything together – I am a ranch girl what can I say — but you can go with mayo ( though I do not have the measurements sine I have not tried that yet)
To lighten this recipe up a bit I ended up using Turkey Bacon and light ranch dressing 🙂
I will say this both my mom and dad kept telling me how much they loved the dish — My mom even said it was one of my best 🙂
This salad makes a TON — I think close to 4 full cups
