A few weeks ago I was scrolling on Pinterest trying to find some summer recipes that don’t use the oven. I stumbled upon a recipe for a BLT Pasta Salad and I just knew I was going to make it. My only concern was whether my children would like it. Sometimes they can be picky about tomatoes. I made it one morning and tried it. I LOVED IT! It’s crazy how it tastes exactly like a BLT. My children tried it and they liked it too.
My family was over and I made them all try it, then we went to Luke’s family’s house and I made everyone try it. Everyone really enjoyed it! I didn’t hear a single complaint. So, since this BLT Pasta Salad got such glowing reviews, I decided to share it with all of you!

Love the pasta salad because it’s a complete meal, perfect for the summer months. I do not like mayo so I will have leave it out or replace it with a vinaigrette.
That’s an awesome idea! I’ll have to try it with a vinaigrette next time I make it.
Yum! I’ll be making this soon!
