BLT Pasta Salad Recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package medium seashell pasta

1 pound sliced bacon

1 ½ cups light Ranch-style salad dressing

1 small onion

chopped

2 tomatoes

chopped

Summer Squash Chicken Alfredo

Dinner

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.
