This BLT pasta salad is an easy lunch all summer long and a new favorite for backyard barbeques! It comes together in a snap (Yes, even with the bacon. I have a secret to share with you!), and manages to combine the familiar comfort of a BLT sandwich with a tangy balsamic dressing – which does not have any mayonnaise or ranch – and perfectly al dente pasta!!
