BLT Pasta Salad is a great and easy salad to do. I generally don't like creamy salads, but I like this one. My husband wont eat onions, I leave them out. He is a big Ranch fan, with almost everything.
Ingredients of BLT Pasta Salad
1 (16 ounce) package medium seashell pasta
1 pound sliced bacon
1 1/2 cups light Ranch-style salad dressing
1 small onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
Preparation of BLT Pasta Salad
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.
Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
In a large bowl, stir together the Ranch dressing, onion, and tomatoes. Mix in the cooled pasta.
The pasta will absorb some of the dressing, so don't worry if it seems like too much.
Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Crumble bacon over the top just before serving.
