Okay, so I know this time of year is all about soups, stews, more comforting foods for the colder weather… and don’t get me wrong, I LOVE those types of dishes.  I do like to lighten things up from time to time and keep things refreshing 🙂  We tried a new pasta salad the other night, and it was a great treat!  The inspiration for this dish came from this website that I found on Pinterest.  I was a bit distracted while cooking, so I don’t have step by step pictures for this one, but it’s an easy recipe to follow 🙂  This recipe is unique because the sauce has balsamic vinegar in it, which adds a distinctly wonderful flavor!

I should also add, that I generally bake my bacon, and sprinkle it with pepper and crushed rosemary.  It adds a little extra flavor 🙂
