CREAMY BACON AVOCADO PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the pasta as directed on the package. Drain and then rinse with cold water to cool the pasta.
• In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, garlic salt, white (or red or black) pepper, the dill and the juice from the 1-2 lemons. Remember to save a few tablespoons of the lemon juice for the avocado. (keeps it from browning).
• In a small bowl, toss the avocado in a few tablespoons of lemon juice. (Usually what I do is squeeze ALL the lemon juice into the avocado bowl, toss well and then the remainder gets poured into the mayo mixture).
• Pour the drained and cool pasta into a large serving bowl. Add the tomatoes, sliced bacon, black olives and the avocado. Gently stir in the mayo mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
• Serve cold. Delicious with burgers, sandwiches, steaks - whatever!
