Creating your BLT Pasta Salad is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
2. Prepare the Bacon: While the pasta cooks, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess grease, then crumble into pieces.
3. Mix the Dressing: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Ingredients: Once the pasta is cooked, drain and rinse it under cold water to cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped romaine lettuce.
5. Add Dressing: Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
6. Serve or Chill: You can serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for an hour to allow flavors to meld.
