An easy BLT pasta salad recipe, with avocado which takes it to a whole new level. It’s perfect for a potluck, picnic, or BBQ. 
During the summer, I am finding myself making a different pasta salad or another potluck/bbq dish just about every week or so. I know it might not be summer yet, but it’s just around the corner, so I wanted to share it with you guys now so you have this awesome BLT pasta salad on hand when the busy summer parties begin.
All of the wonderful flavors of a BLT come together in this salad. It is ready in 30 minutes, and who doesn’t like bacon? I might actually love the avocado more in this dish than I do the bacon, but that’s just me. It’s even great to make the night or day before; as with any cold pasta dish, the longer that it sits, the more the flavors develop. 
This avocado BLT pasta salad is the perfect addition to any bbq or potluck. I made this pasta salad with bbq chicken sandwiches and this broccoli salad.
I ended up using noodles that I had in the cabinet. Aren’t these cute? They are the Barilla Campanelle noodles. I also used the Just Mayo by Hampton Creek. I am in love with this stuff; I found it at Target: it’s gluten free, egg free, soy, dairy free, lactose-free and so much more. It tastes just like regular mayonnaise to me, but it is way healthier for you. If you see it at the store, I would give it a try.
