   BLT Pasta Salad submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
Great for a summer backyard dinner! (From Half Baked Harvest)

Directions
To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Bring a large pot of salted boiling water to a boil. Boil the pasta to al dente, according to package instructions. Drain.

In a large bowl, toss together the hot pasta with the dressing and cubes of cheese. Mix in the lettuce, tomatoes, corn, bacon and avocado. Gently toss to combine.

Serve warm or cold. The salad will develop more flavor as it sits. Add the bacon and avocado just before serving.
