Spring is right around the corner and one of my absolute favorite things to make and eat is pasta salad. I know, this is a dad-centric blog and pasta salad doesn’t sound very manly, so I’m going to take it up a notch. I’m sure we can all agree, bacon makes everything better!! This BLT Pasta Salad recipe puts a new spin on an old classic.
