Provided by HotDishHomemaker

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound thick cut bacon, cooked and cut into bite size pieces
12 ounces Fusili pasta
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half
3 cups green leaf lettuce, chopped and loosely packed
3 tablespoons cold water or milk
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and run under cold water until cool. Set aside. In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise and water. We are adding the water to thin the mayonnaise out slightly so it distributes better amongst the ingredients. Give your Pepper mill a few good turns over the mayonnaise and whisk it in until the dressing is smooth. Place the cooled pasta in a large bowl. Add the tomatoes, bacon and mayonnaise mixture. Fold all together using a spatula. Give your pepper mill another few good turns over all the ingredients and stir. Place the pasta salad in a covered container and chill for 30 to 40 minutes prior to serving.
