    The popular combo of bacon, lettuce and tomato stars in this crowd-pleasing pasta salad. Instead of chopping the cooked bacon, try cutting it with kitchen scissors for thin, even pieces.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 pound fusilli pasta
    • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
    • 1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk or milk
    • 1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
    • 1/2 pound sliced bacon cooked until crisp and chopped
    • 2 large tomatoes preferably heirloom, diced
    • 1/2 red onion diced
    • 4 lightly packed cups sliced romaine or other crispy lettuce

    Directions

    1. Cook fusilli according to package directions until just tender; drain, cool under cold running water and drain again.
    2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, mustard, garlic and salt. Add pasta and toss until coated. Add bacon, tomatoes, onion and lettuce and toss again. Serve immediately.
