Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box (12oz - 16 oz) bow tie pasta cooked and drained (you can use med shell pasta in place of bow ties)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Don't overcook the bacon.Crispy bacon is the best kind of bacon for a BLT salad.
  • Use a variety of lettuces. This will add texture and flavor to your salad.
  • Don't be afraid to add other vegetables. Arugula, spinach, kale, and romaine lettuce are all great options.
  • Use a light dressing. A vinaigrette or a lemon-herb dressing is a good choice.
  • Serve immediately. BLT salad is best when it's fresh.
