Instructions:
- Cook macaroni according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Add cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, bacon, and onion to the bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Variations :
- Add shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella for extra creaminess.
- Swap romaine lettuce for baby spinach or arugula for a different flavor.
- Mix in diced avocado for a creamy, buttery twist.
Tips :
- Add the lettuce just before serving so it stays crisp.
- For deeper flavor, try using smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce in the dressing.
- Cook the pasta al dente so it holds up better after chilling.
