📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk together all of the Lemon Parmesan Dressing Ingredients together in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Dressing is much better if it has at least ⏱️ 30 minutes to chill.*
2
Cook pasta according to package directions just until al dente. Rinse with cold water and drain. Drizzle with a little olive oil to keep from sticking.

If serving immediately: Add cooled pasta, peas, bacon and dressing to a large bowl and toss until evenly combined.
4
If not serving immediately (preferable so salad can chill): Add the pasta and peas to a large bowl and toss with half of the dressing once the pasta has cooled (so the dressing doesn’t separate). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to serve, add the remaining dressing and the bacon and toss until evenly combined.
