A Simple Post Today...

...in honor of the warmest weather so far this year, one of my favorite summertime recipes, perfect for picnics, potlucks, and easy dinners on these longer warm nights.

BLT Salad

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
5 green onions, finely chopped
1 large tomato, diced
1¼ cups celery, diced
1¼ cups mayonnaise
5 teaspoons white vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt (our family uses garlic salt instead)
1/8 to ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. In a large bowl, combine the macaroni, green onions, tomato, and celery. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour over macaroni mixture and toss to coat. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Just before serving, add bacon. Makes 12 servings.

Enjoy! Oh, and PS...It has the same great tastes as a BLT, but it doesn't have lettuce, or any "L" ingredients for that matters so the name is probably not technically correct. But oh well.
