BLT pasta Salad
1 pound bacon
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pasta
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
Kosher salt
3 medium tomatoes, cut into small wedges
1 avocado, diced
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the bacon on the baking sheet and season it generously with black pepper. Bake until the bacon is crisp, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool the bacon completely.
2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring generously salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and cool to room temperature.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. In a large bowl, toss together the pasta, tomato, avocado and lettuce. Crumble in the bacon.
5. If serving immediately, add the dressing and toss well to coat. If making ahead, leave the salad undressed and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days.
