Classic BLT Pasta Salad (Summer Cookout Favorite)
This goes viral every summer because it’s nostalgic, simple, and surprisingly addictive.
Ingredients:
Pasta shells (2 cups)
Bacon (6–8 strips)
Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
Romaine lettuce (2 cups, chopped)
Red onion (¼ cup, diced)
Mayonnaise (½ cup)
Sour cream (¼ cup)
Lemon juice (1 tbsp)
Salt & pepper
Steps:
Cook pasta until al dente, rinse under cold water, and drain well. Cook bacon until crisp; crumble it into pieces. In a large bowl, mix mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add pasta, tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. Toss gently. Finally, fold in the bacon right before serving so it stays crispy.
Chill for 30 minutes before eating for the best flavor. Perfect for potlucks and BBQs.
