In my house, this healthy BLT pasta salad is a hit every time. It checks all the boxes—easy, nutritious, and endlessly versatile. In addition, it is an ideal choice for school lunches or quick dinners.

Ingredients

Homemade Ranch Dressing

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chives

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Pasta salad

  • 12 ounces dry pasta cooked and cooled or 7 scant cups leftover cool pasta

  • 10 slices bacon, cooked and chopped

  • 1 1/2 cups baby tomatoes, quartered

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped lettuce

  • 1/2 diced avocado

  • 1/3 cup diced red onion

  • 1 cup homemade ranch dressing

  • handful of feta cheese (about 3/4 cup)

  • Fresh parsley for garnish, coarsely chopped, optional

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients (or use a small processor or blender if you prefer) and set aside.
  2. Unless using pre-cooked, boil the pasta and fry the bacon, then chop the bacon. Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes, lettuce, avocado and onion as directed.
  3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, in addition to the dressing and fresh parsley, toss together the pasta, bacon and prepared vegetables. Now pour 1 cup of the dressing on top and toss again until all the ingredients are coated.
  4. Grate the feta over the salad, garnish with parsley, if using, and serve. Place leftover dressing on table for extra dollop.

Notes

Semolina, legumes and gluten-free pasta work well in this dish. If you are using freshly cooked pasta, I like to rinse it well under cold water after cooking to cool it quickly to serve in the salad. Pre-cooked bacon saves time and effort, when I cook it fresh I use my larger pan to fry the bacon at the same time.
