    BLT Macaroni Salad - A twist on your traditional summer macaroni salad! A favorite at potlucks and BBQ'S!

    For most, we are welcoming summer. Schools are starting to let out, unless you home school, and everyone is busy with vacations, friends, and family. When you aren't busy visiting the nearest water park or beach, you might get a chance to attend a summer potluck with friends and family or enjoying a relaxing picnic with your significant other.

    Whatever the occasions may bring, summer gatherings are always a favorite. Not only are you enjoying each others company, you are also enjoying delicious food - sides, barbecued food and hopefully a cocktail or mocktail.

    Instead of bringing the dreadful, boring macaroni salad without other vibrant, savory ingredients - try bringing this BLT macaroni salad. Let's wow your friends and family and allow them to think you are the best cook ever. I will forever love you, and I am sure others will, too. It's that darn good.

    Every bite has a little something different - bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce. Feel free to pick your juicy, red tomatoes straight off the vine for this side dish. Homegrown tomatoes have and will always be a favorite among others. In this dish, you will notice roma tomatoes bring the perfect flavor. If you do not have any romas, then cherry tomatoes are perfect!

      One suggestion if I may, I make this quite a bit and I find that if I mix the crumbled bacon and mayo (or MW) about 24 hrs ahead (hubby prefers 48 hrs) then you get more of a bacon flavor to the salad. I do swap out the yogurt for sour cream at times if I am making a hot pasta salad.
