A delightful twist on the classic BLT, this pasta salad is perfect for summer gatherings.
In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth.
Whisk the dressing ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.
Add the cooked macaroni, chopped tomato, and sliced green onions to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
Ensure the macaroni is completely cool before mixing to prevent the dressing from becoming runny.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavor and makes it more refreshing.
Just before serving, add the shredded lettuce and crispy bacon to the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Add the lettuce and bacon at the last moment to maintain their texture and freshness.
Serve the salad in a large serving bowl or individual plates. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an extra touch of flavor.
