Notes

You may notice there is no lettuce in our BLT pasta salad! This is because we prfer the flavor of the green onions as the 'green' portion. You can easily add in 1-2 cups of chopped romaine. Stir it in with the bacon, just before serving.

This recipe keeps well for 3-4 days. If you do add lettuce, it won't last as well as the lettuce will wilt.
