Bacon Broccoli Pasta Salad

ADVERTISEMENT

I’ve always had a soft spot for classic broccoli salad. Anytime I walk into a gathering and spot that familiar bowl of crunchy greens, creamy dressing, and smoky bacon, I know I’m in for a good time. But here’s the twist: this updated version brings tender rotini into the mix, giving you cozy, carb-filled comfort alongside all that crisp, tangy goodness. Honestly? It’s everything I love about potluck fare—with a pasta upgrade that makes it unforgettable.
