Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package medium shell pasta

  • 1 pound sliced bacon

  • 4 ripe Roma tomatoes, diced

  • 1 small red onion, chopped

  • 1 cup ranch dressing

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 head romaine lettuce, shredded (about 3 cups)

Directions

BLT Salad

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.

  2. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels; crumble and set aside.

  3. Combine pasta, 3/4 of the bacon, tomatoes, onion, ranch dressing, and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Mix in lettuce. Top with remaining bacon.
