The flavors you love in a BLT sandwich, served up in a pasta salad!
If you are a big fan of a good BLT, you have to try this pasta salad! When I first tried this salad, I was in BLT heaven. Let’s be honest the best part of a BLT is the “B”, followed by a juicy garden fresh “T” and lastly the “L”. Technically there is no L (lettuce) in this pasta salad, instead, there is an A…A for avocado. Even better, don’t you think?! We just substitute one green for another. Although I use “BLT” in the recipe title, because it’s the best way to describe how this salad tastes.

Recipe Notes
If possible avoid chilling the whole salad with the tomatoes in the fridge, the fridge will kill the flavor of the tomatoes.
