I'm not usually a fan of pasta salad, but this one was really good. The dressing was light and tangy, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. I would definitely make this again.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The bacon adds a nice smoky flavor and the dressing is tangy and sweet. I also like that it's a cold salad, so it's perfect for summer.
