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

One of my favorites! Making it again for our Homecoming at church. I always substitute grape tomatoes!

I have made this recipe many times, and it is always a hit. Very easy too.

My whole family loves this one, and we've doubled and tripled it for potlucks. My 13 year old even makes it because he thinks its super easy. We also like to add chunks of cucumber, very refreshing.

This macaroni salad was ok, but I've had better. Flavor was a bit bland for me.

There was too much mayonnaise.

This is very good. As I went to write the review, I realized I left out the vinegar when I made this ): Still very good without it! I plan to take this to a church dinner in a few weeks. Fast and simple!

I love this recipe! One of my favorite recipes for pasta salad. It's also very easy to make. I get compliments and recipe requests whenever I make it. I use light mayo (not miracle whip) and it does not affect the flavor or texture.

I like this salad. It is especially good with fresh garden tomatoes and really great butcher shop bacon!

I take this salad to pot lucks often, especially in the summer. It is definitely a crowd pleaser.
