Pasta

8 ounces uncooked dried elbow macaroni

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup chopped red onion

6 tablespoons ketchup

8 ounces (2 cups) Land O Lakes® Sharp Cheddar Farmstyle Cut Shredded Cheese

1 cup chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce

1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/2 cup (5 to 6 slices) crumbled cooked bacon

Garnish

Pickle slices, as desired

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Cook macaroni according to package directions for al dente. Drain; rinse with cool water. Set aside.

Tip #1

Mayo-based pasta salads are best the day they're made. If you need to make this a day ahead, reserve half of the dressing and leave off the garnish. Before serving, toss the salad with reserved dressing and top with garnish.

Tip #2

Feel free to omit the bacon altogether and use your favorite meat alternative instead of the ground beef to make this a hearty vegetarian offering.
