BLT Pasta Salad

This recipe from blogchef.net is fantastic. Even DH liked it, and he doesn't like salad! But a little bacon goes a looong way...

BLT Pasta Salad


Ingredients:
1 (7 ounce) package rotini pasta noodles (cooked and drained)
8 slices bacon (cooked until crispy and crumbled)
1 cup mayonnaise (or salad dressing)
¼ cup lemon juice concentrate
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons chicken flavored instant bouillon
1 large tomato (seeded and chopped)
¼ cup green onions (sliced)
4 cups lettuce (thinly sliced)

Note: I only use about a quarter of what it calls for dressing and about 1/3 of the lettuce. In my opinion, it calls for too much for my taste.

Instructions:

- In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, chicken flavor instant bouillon, and sugar. Mix well until smooth.
-
In a serving bowl add noodles, bacon, tomato, and green onions, Toss with dressing. Stir in lettuce right before serving.
