A friend served this BLT pasta salad, and I just had to get the recipe. My husband loves BLT sandwiches, so this has become a favorite of his. It's nice to serve on hot and humid days, which we frequently get during summer here in Virginia. —Mrs. Hamilton Myers Jr., Charlottesville, Virginia

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

Test Kitchen Tips
  • If you like your pasta salads extra saucy, double the sauce ingredients.
  • Calling all bacon fanatics! Use thick-cut bacon or add two extra strips to pump up the volume.
