Calories: 370kcal
Ingredients
- 9 oz bite sized pasta penne, macaroni, shells, etc
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 head of romaine lettuce roughly chopped
- 2 tomatoes roughly chopped
- ½ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley tightly packed
Dressing:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- 2 tsp dried dill
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to packet directions. Drain and set aside. Cook the bacon using your favorite method, then roughly chop. Check out our favorite way to cook bacon here.
- Add the cooked pasta, chopped bacon, lettuce, tomatoes and parsley to a large salad bowl and combine.
- To make the dressing whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, dried parsley, dried dill, garlic powder and onion powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Pour the salad dressing over the salad and stir through. Serve immediately or keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve. The salad will stay good for a few days in the refrigerator, but if you aren't going to be serving the salad within a few hours, I would wait to add the bacon until right before serving so it doesn't get soggy.
