Perfect for summer cookouts, potlucks, or just a simple weeknight meal, this BLT Macaroni Salad takes all the flavors you love and combines them with tender pasta and a creamy, tangy dressing. It's a crowd-pleaser that's sure to become a staple in your recipe collection.
The first step in making this delicious salad is cooking up some crispy bacon. It adds a crunchy, smoky element to the dish that perfectly complements the other ingredients. Once the bacon is cooked and crumbled, you'll want to blanch some fresh, crisp lettuce to add a bright, refreshing element to the salad.
Next up, the star of the show - juicy, ripe tomatoes. Whether you choose classic red tomatoes or mix it up with heirloom or cherry varieties, the sweet, acidic pop of the tomatoes is essential to capturing the essence of a classic BLT.
Of course, no macaroni salad would be complete without the pasta itself. Elbow macaroni is the perfect shape for holding onto the creamy dressing and ensuring that every bite is full of flavor. And speaking of dressing, ours is a simple yet delicious combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and a touch of vinegar for a tangy kick.
Once everything is tossed together and chilled, the flavors meld and marry into a perfect harmony. The resulting Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Macaroni Salad is the perfect side dish for any summer gathering or a satisfying meal all on its own.
