BLT Pasta Salad
This BLT Pasta Salad is:
- Flavorful
- Hearty
- Creamy with an added lettuce crunch
- and
- Perfect for any BLT lover (like myself)
I love using gluten-free rice pasta (made with only brown rice as the ingredient), because it’s easier for me to digest, and nobody knows it’s gluten-free! I make this as an easy BBQ or dinner side, and it’s great for leftovers, too! My two favorite brands are Jovial and Tinkyada.

What kind of Gluten Free pasta did you use in this recipe?
If you click on the link in the recipe you’ll see the brand I love. I also love Delallo!
How big is the serving size? I want to make this to eat as a meal!
So this makes a big batch as you use the entire bag of pasta, but you can make less and adjust accordingly!
I love that brown rice pasta too! Simple and healthy! And can’t go wrong with this BLT combo
