BLT Macaroni Salad Recipe from @createdbydiane

 

It’s no secret how much I love pasta and there are so many reasons this will be making it’s way too many get-togethers for MANY years to come.

Most macaroni salads as  you know are mixed with mayonnaise, this one is a little different.

There is mayo in this dish, I made it homemade, it’s really easy and here is my post on how to make homemade mayo I did adjust a few things instead of lemon juice, I used lime juice and I added a bunch of basil, oh it’s so delicious!

There is fresh spinach, tomatoes and of course bacon.

I used precooked bacon, I always have it in the fridge. I am someone who thinks bacon goes with just about EVERYTHING! Of course, you can cook up come bacon if you don’t have a stash of bacon in your fridge already cooked like I do, I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t have a fridge full of bacon and oh let’s say…..cheese, two of my favorites!

I prefer my macaroni salads and pasta salads with a minimal amount of mayo, I’ll let you know how much I’ve added, and also let you know, you can add more if that is more to your liking.

      I haven’t, slightly wilted spinach doesn’t bother me, wilted lettuce is not as appealing but if you prefer it, give it a try!
