A tasty pasta salad that tastes like a BLT sandwich and is both cool and filling. It's great for potlucks, picnics, or as a simple side dish for any meal.
Ingredients: 8 oz penne pasta. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1 cup lettuce, chopped. 1/2 cup crispy bacon bits. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 2 tbsp sour cream. 1 tsp Dijon mustard. 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Instructions: Follow the directions on the package to cook the penne pasta. Take it out and let it cool down. Put chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and crispy bacon bits in a large bowl. Add the sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to a different small bowl and mix them together using a whisk. Before adding the pasta to the big bowl of other things, make sure it is cool. Put the dressing on top of the pasta salad and toss it around so that everything is covered. Put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before you serve it. Before serving, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves. Have fun with your tasty BLT pasta salad!
