Skinnytaste.com - BLT Macaroni Salad

I made this for Father's day & it was a hit.
I didn’t have elbows in the house, so I used bow ties – how perfect for Father’s Day too!
BLT Macaroni Salad
Ingredients:
¦8 oz uncooked elbows, low carb or whole grain (brown rice pasta for gf)
¦4 slices 25% reduced fat center cut bacon
¦2 large ripe tomatoes, beefsteak or vine ripe, diced small
¦4 tbsp reduced fat mayonnaise (I used Hellman’s)
¦salt and fresh pepper to taste
¦2 cups baby spinach
Directions:
In a large skillet cook bacon on medium-low heat until crispy on both sides.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package directions.
Chop tomatoes and combine it along with any accumulated juice with mayonnaise and pepper in a medium bowl. Drain pasta and rinse with cold water to cool. Combine pasta with tomatoes and spinach mixing well. Toss in bacon right before serving.
I paired it with a grilled sirloin with bleu cheese butter & corn on the cob.

I swear...after making this bleu butter all I wanted to do was sit down with a bowl of it.
3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
1 ounce crumbled bleu cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Mash together the butter, bleu cheese, chives, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper; set aside.
Serve steak with a dollop of bleu cheese-chive butter.

Yum! I make a nice composed butter with worcestershire and herbs and garlic.. but this sounds like it would give just a great little zing! I'm definitely trying it! Thanks!
