How to Make BLT Pasta Salad

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's brown and crispy. Once cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. After cooling, chop or crumble the bacon into smaller pieces for your salad.
• While the bacon cooks, combine the mayonnaise, ranch dressing, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta, cooking it for about 7-8 minutes until tender. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse briefly with cool water.
• Slice the grape tomatoes in half, finely dice the red onion, and roughly chop the spinach.
• In a large bowl, add the cooled pasta, spinach, tomatoes, onions, and the prepared dressing. Gently stir until well combined. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
