BLT Bow Tie Pasta Salad image

This is one of our favorite cold pasta salad recipes. I first tried it at a family reunion, and it's become one of my husband's favorite dinners. Sometimes, we leave out the chicken and serve it as a side dish instead. -Jennifer Madsen, Rexburg, Idaho

This pasta salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used whole wheat bow-tie pasta and added some chopped red onion for extra flavor. It was a great side dish for my grilled chicken.

This pasta salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the unique combination of flavors and textures. The bow-tie pasta was cooked perfectly and the bacon gave the salad a nice smoky flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
