Blt Pasta Salad

in Uncategorized on 07/27/17

Here’s the fourth recipe in the ‘Summer in July’ Series and just in the nick of time (The month is almost over!!!)

Oh my goodness this pasta salad is delish and so, so easy. The best part is that it’s a great side for lunch OR supper. I was scrolling through Pinterest when I came across this salad posted by Holly at Life in the Lofthouse. I put in extra tomatoes and bacon because I could hear my sweet man say, “Bacon makes any recipe better.” I have to agree.

For a heartier salad that becomes a main dish, you could add a cup or two of rotisserie chicken.

The original recipe came from Taste of Home, which has been one of my favorite food magazines for over 25 years.

Try it out and let me hear from you.

  • 2-1/2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta
  • 6 cups torn romain lettuce
  • 2 to 3 large tomatoes, diced
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
Servings:
Instructions
  1. Cook six bacon strips and crumble.
  2. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. Then rinse pasta under cold water.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, tomato, bacon and pasta.
  4. Drizzle the ranch dressing and barbecue sauce over the top. Toss to coat evenly. Season with pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy.
  5. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to serving.
Recipe Notes

*The recipe calls for Ranch dressing, but I used Peppercorn Ranch because that's what I had on hand. I also used Honey Barbecue Sauce. I think this dish is better if it chills prior to serving.

You could add a cup or two of rotisserie chicken and make it a main dish salad.

Happy 2021 friends! I’ve been thinking back over Happy 2021 friends! I’ve been thinking back over 2020 and all that we have experienced. Some good, some not, some sad, and the rest we’ve learned to adapt to. Each of us have in some way been touched by tough times, grief, and challenges. On the other hand we’ve also been given the moments to appreciate and love our families, spend time with those we love, enjoy a slower pace, and appreciate what’s important and what’s not.  What we do going forward is simple: Spread love and kindness everywhere we go, be grateful for a God who is always right there with us, trust God always, and make sure your hope and joy is rooted in Jesus and His promises.  Wishing you good health, love, joy and peace in the new year! Onward my friends! Onward!  #newyear #grateful #2021 #onward #bebrave #courage #believe #joy #hope
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and p “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” – Romans 15:13

I came across these words because they bring comfort and they remind me that God is in control. 
“The Bible is filled with verses that can bring peace in the middle of struggles, worries, and fear. If we ask God, He promises us HIS peace "that passes all understanding"! When we take time to step back from the pressure of life and come into the presence of God, He is able to speak promises of hope and comfort over our circumstances.” #peace #love #jesus #merrychristmas  #joy #seekpeace
