Bacon Avocado Pasta Salad

This avocado pasta salad is perfection, the salty, crunchy bacon, paired with the creamy cool avocado, sweet ripe tomatoes, and tangy red onion - mix it all up with your favorite noodles, and a 5 ingredient dressing and this pasta salad is a perfect spring or summer side dish!

I love pasta salads because they are the perfect thing to make for potlucks or a backyard BBQ. From traditional Hawaiian tortellini salad or chicken caesar pasta salad. Pasta salads are a perfect cold side dish for a hot day, and this one comes together in a short time!

Helpful Tips to make Bacon Avocado Pasta Salad:

• You can easily make this a BLT avocado pasta salad with the addition of a couple cups of chopped up lettuce. You'll want about 4 cups!
• Cook your bacon in the oven so you can avoid splatters, which makes the clean up so easy, and helps you from getting burned too!
• Use this handy tip for halving tomatoes. It is a great time saver!
• Another great addition to this pasta salad is little cubes of chopped up cheese. Something like swiss, or Monterey Jack! You'll want about 1 cup.

What you will need to make Bacon Avocado Pasta Salad:

• Avocado Tool - After spending hours in the clinic with our cousin last Easter, I decided that this tool is a necessity in our kitchen.
• Mason Jar - I love to use jars to make dressings. It is so simple to toss it all in a jar put the lid on and shake the living tar out of it. Then if there is any left over, you can store it in the jar too.

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
