Summer Simple

P64

Everyone loves a simple BLT for a summer lunch or dinner. I found a recipe on Pinterest for a BLT Pasta Salad (http://thecheesepusher.tumblr.com/post/3131141165/blt-pasta-salad) and it sounded so good. Of course me being me, I had to take the recipe and make it even easier. So here is what I did:

1 box of rotini pasta
1 3oz package of bacon bits
1/2 package of baby spinach
1/2 to 1 cup of light mayo made with olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Make your pasta as instructed on the box to al dente. Drain pasta. Place spinach in large mixing bowl, place warm pasta on top of spinach (this will allow the spinach to wilt just enough). Place tomatoes, bacon bits and mayo on top. Season to taste. Then fold ingredients together until spinach is slightly wilted and the mayo/seasoning is throughout the pasta! 

You can serve immediately warm or refrigerate and serve cold.

So yummy, so light and refreshing. A lovely summer meal, man I love the ideas Pinterest brings me!
