In the summertime, there are so many fresh veggies in season — the side dish possibilities are endless. Tomato salad. Pickled cucumbers. Grilled corn. One of my favorite summer sides is this BLT Pasta Salad. It combines juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and rich bacon with a tangy vinaigrette and tender pasta for a delicious variation on the classic BLT sandwich. You can serve it as a main dish or side dish for dinner, or whip it up for a crowd-pleasing BBQ potluck dish. Since my kids and I are pasta salad lovers, we often pack it for picnics and beach trips.
