Weight Watcher's BLT Pasta Salad 014

BLT Pasta Salad - This fun Weight Watcher's BLT Pasta Salad is the perfect side to bring to your next 4th of July gathering. No one will even know that it is WW friendly or diet friendly.

I’ve brought this pasta salad recipe I found on Pinterest to quite a few pot lucks and BBQ's during the Summer and let me tell you something about Pinterest. If you see a recipe that keeps on getting repinned and repinned over and over again it's usually a good recipe. This one did not disappoint either. I mean c' mon it's a BLT pasta salad in a sauce with light mayo, vinegar, and mustard and it's topped with BACON. Bacon and colorful sprinkles are super foods because they make people happy. 🙂

Back when I worked at the hotel a couple of years ago as a part time job, they would make a BLT pasta salad kind of similar to this one. They added ranch seasoning and a little bit of Worcestershire sauce to spice it up a bit and it was everyone's favorite pasta salad. I tweaked my BLT pasta salad recipe to make it kind of similar to the one at the hotel because I loved the taste that Ranch added to it. A 1 oz Ranch seasoning packet is only 1 smart point so it doesn’t tack on very many points to this recipe.

How to make a BLT Pasta Salad

  1. In a large bowl, mix cooked pasta, bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce.
  2. In a small bowl, mix sugar, vinegar, mayonnaise, Greek Yogurt, Ranch seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add the dressing mixture to the pasta, bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce and stir to combine.
  4. Recipe makes 6 to 8 servings.
  5. ½ cup of BLT pasta is 4 smart points.

Tips for BLT Pasta Salad

Instead of lettuce, you can use chopped scallions. The chopped scallions will last longer in the fridge if you don’t eat all of this right away. Lettuce wilts pretty fast. If you are worried about the lettuce wilting, do not add it to the pasta salad. When ready to eat chop up some lettuce and add it to the salad.

Make this a complete meal and add in some grilled chicken.

Boil the noodles and cook the bacon a day before and store them in the fridge. When ready to eat mix all the ingredients together.
