Bacon & Tomato Macaroni Salad image

Inspired by another macaroni salad and some nudging from my sister, this is what I came up with. :)* The cook time on this is boiling the macaroni and frying up the bacon, which I did simultaneously ;)

I added some chopped red onion to the salad for a little extra flavor. It was a great addition.

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. The salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have bacon in my fridge, so this is a recipe I can always make.

I've made this salad a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is so good that I've even been known to eat it straight out of the bowl!
