BLT Pasta Salad

Oh this one was a SMASH! Even my super picky daughter went back for THIRDS! Frankly, I think you can never go wrong with bacon, and this recipe doesn't disappoint. Enjoy!

BLT Pasta Salad

1 lb. bacon

1 lb. rotini pasta

3 medium tomatoes, diced

2 cups chopped iceburg lettuce

1/2 - 3/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 - 3/4 cup Ranch dressing

3-4 TBSP. Miracle Whip

1 TBSP. dried minced onion

2-3 tsp. sugar

salt & pepper to taste (a few generous shakes of each)

Cut the bacon up into small pieces by cutting it across the short end, basically dicing it. Place in a large skillet and cook until crips. Drain well on paper towels and set aside. Cook rotini pasta according to package directions. Drain, then run under cold water to chill the pasta. Drain well and place in large bowl. Add the cooked bacon pieces and remaining ingredients, mixing well and coating everything evenly. Adjust the mayonnaise, Ranch and Miracle Whip according to your tastes. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Makes about 16 servings.
