This pleasing pasta salad is like eating a BLT in a bowl. Chock-full of crispy crumbled bacon, chopped tomato, celery and green onion, the sensational salad is draped in a tangy mayonnaise and vinegar dressing. It's a real crowd-pleaser! -Norene Wright, Manilla, Indiana

pretty good I made this for church gathering and everyone gobbled it up. I added some extra mayonnaise and it need a little more kick, so extra vinegar too.

This was very good I used mustard instead of the vinegar and my husband and I both loved it I would make this again for any family get togethers.

This is so good. Every time I make it for a potluck, the bowl is empty right away! Love it!

I actually have been making this recipe for several years since it was first published in one of the TOH mags! I often substitute cooked mini shrimp for the bacon, but I always get compliments when I take either version to potlucks!
