This BLT pasta salad is super easy to make using just a few ingredients. It’s my “go to” salad to take along to BBQ or when I’ve been asked to bring a plate. It feeds a crowd and I get rave reviews from everyone that tries it.
Trust me when I say this BLT pasta salad is EASY to make! You only need 5 ingredients and under 10 minutes to put it all together. The longest part is waiting for the pasta to cook and cool before adding the rest of the salad ingredients. If you love a good BLT, you will love this salad twist on your favourite sandwich.
