BLT Pasta Salad with Sour Cream Dressing
Featured product
Pizza mozzarella cheese block
A semi-soft ivory coloured cheese with a milky and slightly salty flavour. Like the name suggests, Pizza Mozzarella Cheese can be shredded atop your favourite pizzas or in pasta dishes. Slice it and enjoy with fresh cut tomato and basil.
Ingredients
For the dressing
- 125 mL (1/2 cup) sour cream
- 60 mL (1/4 cup) milk
- 60 mL (1/4 cup) mixed fresh herbs (basil, Italian parsley, oregano)
- 30 mL (2 tbsp) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 mL (1/4 tsp) sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
For the salad
- 1 L (4 cups) chopped Romaine lettuce (about 6 leaves)
- 500 mL (2 cups) cooked rotini pasta (about 310 mL/1 1/4 cups dry pasta)
- 500 mL (2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 250 mL (1 cup) small cubes of Armstrong Pizza Mozzarella Cheese
- 8 slices bacon, cooked
Directions
For the dressing
- Add all the dressing ingredients to a large measuring cup and use a stick blender to process until smooth (you can also make the dressing in a blender or a food processor). Transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
For the salad
- In a large shallow bowl, lay the salad ingredients (chopped lettuce, rotini pasta, cherry tomatoes, Armstrong Pizza Mozzarella Cheese cubes and bacon) side-by-side around the plate. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
*Tip: Turn this salad into a meal by adding sliced cooked chicken to the recipe.
