The BLT is hands-down the quintessential summer sandwich. Toasty, crispy, juicy, and creamy, a BLT is a pure harmony of flavors and textures. The key to a really delicious BLT is in using the best-quality ingredients, especially sun-ripened tomatoes and fresh lettuce. Recipe developer Julie Kinnaird shares with us her favorite spin on the beloved sandwich with this over-the-top BLT pasta salad. Kinnaird's deconstruction features curly radiatore pasta as the base, juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp romaine lettuce, thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, and a homemade bacon fat mayo dressing that is so good you will want to eat it by the spoonful. The dish is finished with crunchy toasted sourdough breadcrumbs for a taste that takes you back to a BLT in every bite.

Cucumbers are pretty much synonymous with cool, and they're terrific in slaws, noodle dishes, and drinks—we even like them in cooked dishes. But the very best way to use these ubiquitous vegetables might just be in a cucumber salad recipe, whether they're the star ingredient or combined with other fresh produce. For one, their mild and lightly sweet flavor is easy to match with a range of ingredients, from spicy red onion to bright and light herbs such as dill and mint. Perhaps even better, though, is that a cucumber salad is just as good at complementing classic summer mains, such as burgers or grilled meats or fish, as it is supporting spicy entrée since cukes do a great job tempering heat.

Just boil the pasta of your choice as you prepare the sauce in a separate pan.
