If there’s one thing I’ve learned after almost 20 years of being a food blogger, it’s that people love it when you show up to a party with a good dip or a good pasta salad in hand.
I flip back and forth between whipping up my favorite easy dip recipes and my go-to pasta salad recipes depending on the season. But when it comes to a late-summer cookout or a game-day party, you really can’t go wrong with either.
This BLT pasta salad is always a huge hit with the bacon and tomato lovers. It is inspired by the classic BLT sandwich with plenty of crumbled bacon, crisp lettuce, and sweet tomatoes. I add in some shredded cheese and a creamy dressing and voila: a perfect summer sandwich turned into a perfect pasta salad.
This recipe will take you about 30 minutes of hands-on time to make. Be sure to let it chill for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld!
