BLT Pasta Salad

Posted on August 15, 2011. Filed under: Side Dishes |

 

This recipe might seem like an unusual combination but it really has a nice flavor.  I like to use homemade mayonnaise when I make this.

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz rotini pasta
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1/2 head lettuce
  • 1 tomato
  • 4 green onions
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tsp chicken bullion granules
  • 1 tsp sugar

Boil pasta according to package directions.  I usually cook to al dente (the lowest time) as it will absorb moisture from the salad.  Drain and allow to cool.

Crisp cook the bacon and blot with a paper towel.  Crumble or lightly chop in a food processor.

Slice the green onions and chop the lettuce.  Scrape the seeds from the tomato and dice.  Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, bullion, and sugar.  I used fresh lemon juice it should be about one or two lemons.

Combine the cooled pasta, bacon, vegetables, and mayonnaise mixture.  Allow to completely cool in the refrigerator.
