Avocado Bacon Pasta Salad

Some pasta salads are served as a side dish while others are served as a meal. I am a big fan of pasta salads because the possibilities are endless.

Yesterday I made some Avocado Bacon Pasta that I will be making again soon.

I used some Fusilli pasta that I found at the store but you can use Rotini or Bowtie to make this same dish. What I love about this pasta salad is that I make a creamy avocado dressing to go along with it.

This pasta salad has diced avocado, diced cherry tomatoes, olives and BACON! The flavor combo is delicious.

Then with the avocado dressing it is sure to be a hit…

For those that want to give it a try, here is the recipe for this yummy avocado bacon pasta salad.
