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

My husband and I thought this was a very good salad. We will be making this again!

I loved the ingredients but decided to add a few other veggies. I used green pepper and seeded cucumbers. The dressing in the recipe was not to the family's liking, and I did not use it 9n the salad. I substituted Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch Dressing and the kids declared it a success!

I was looking for something different to make as opposed to the usual stand-bys that I do, I found this and made it. I made a double batch and was lucky enough to get a small bowl of it. This will not sit around long at all.

It is our new favorite mac salad.

No matter what mac salad recipe I make my husband always rates it "ok". This salade he liked and even had seconds! It seemed kind of "blah" so I added l/2 cup of sweet pickles, we thought it added alot.

This is a great recipe. I've made it twice now. The first time just as written. The second time I didn't want to cook bacon (lazy I guess) so I used a package of Real Bacon. Still good.!

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!
