Bring on the Summer BBQ’s and serve BLT Pasta Salad! This yummy easy salad recipe is full of bacon, tomato, lettuce, pasta and more – one of my favourites!

BLT Pasta Salad

Here are more great salads for you to try: Taco Salad, Broccoli Salad, and this Garden fresh Pasta Salad!

Last year we attended a pot luck meet and greet with the 2014 Cheer team and all the parents. Of course, one of the perks of pot lucks is the huge variety of foods from appetizer trays to desserts.

There was one particular pasta salad that I tried, and loved. After going around the room and asking a few people, I managed to find the woman that brought the salad.

I scored the recipe for this amazing BLT Pasta Salad!

If you haven’t tried it yet, you are truly missing out. While I had made a more typical pasta salad in the past, for our own family meals and for taking to pot lucks, this one quickly replaced my usual go-to.

Really, it’s that good!

This salad is made up of spiral pasta noodles, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, red onions, crispy bacon pieces and lettuce. Like your favourite sandwich served in salad form!

BLT Pasta Salad made with ranch dressing has that right kind of tang .. it’s just one great salad to have in your recipe box.

Now, bring on the Summer BBQ’s, a great excuse to serve BLT Pasta Salad!

Bring on the Summer BBQ's and serve BLT Pasta Salad! This yummy easy salad recipe is full of bacon, tomato, lettuce, pasta and more - one of my favourites!

    So glad I’m not the only one who will stalk people at a pot luck for the recipe! The swiss cheese would add a nice sharp touch to this

    This definitely sounds like a recipe my whole family would eat right up! We’re big ‘salad’ fans in the house (I.E. potato salad, egg salad, tuna salad, etc) so this will probably be tried out 🙂

    Thank you for sharing!
