  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spiral pasta according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool completely.
  2. Cook the Bacon: In a large frying pan over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until golden and crispy. Remove from heat. Set aside 1 tablespoon of cooked bacon for garnish.
  3. Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, crispy bacon, chopped lettuce, quartered cherry tomatoes, and diced yellow capsicum.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, wholegrain mustard, parsley, salt, sugar, pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth and creamy.
  5. Combine and Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated. Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the reserved bacon and extra chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider keeping the dressing separate to maintain freshness.
