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.

Big BLT fan over here! This looks delicious.
This is pasta salad perfection!
This recipe is unreal…will have to make it ASAP!
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
I love BLT anything! looks delicious!
So clever! Ooh, that dressing sounds so delicious!
I never leave a comment or review, but this pasta salad is amazing! If you are a BLT fan, this is for you. It’s so delicious! I’ll be making it for my daughter’s first birthday.
Super delicious salad! I used spinach instead of lettuce because that’s what I had, and instead of eggs, added a chopped apple. The star of this recipe is the dressing, seriously!
