BLT Macaroni Salad: The Ultimate Summer Side Dish

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package elbow macaroni (such as Wacky Mac®)
• 1 pound bacon
• 1.5 cups chilled mayonnaise (such as Hellman's®)
• 1.5 cups chilled coleslaw dressing (such as Kraft®)
• 3 tomatoes, diced
• 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and cool for 10-15 minutes.
2. While the macaroni cooks, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease on paper towels, then crumble and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise and coleslaw dressing until smooth. Gently fold in the cooked macaroni, crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sliced green onions until everything is well combined.
