chicken & bacon pasta salad / with homemade dressing

chicken, bacon, pasta, romaine salad recipe

this is one of my family’s favorite salad recipes. i could personally eat it all week long! i’m always so disappointed when it’s gone.

it’s really easy to make and it’s great for putting together earlier in the day – the longer it sits in the fridge the day you’re going to eat it, the better it tastes.  and it’s also the perfect thing to serve when you’re having guests over because it actually makes a decent amount of salad. we’ve served it as a side at barbecues, but it’s hearty enough to be eaten as dinner all on it’s own. serve with rolls, and you’re got an easy, made-ahead dinner for a busy weeknight.

here’s what you need:
