Creamy Dressing
In a small bowl or mason jar, combine all of the dressing ingredients. Whisk or shake until well blended. If the dressing seems too thick, add milk as necessary to thin out (start with 1 or 2 teaspoons). Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Set aside.
Pasta Salad
Cook the pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
Cook the bacon, drain on paper towels and chop into 1-inch pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta, bacon, tomatoes, and lettuce. Add the dressing and gently toss until all of the ingredients are coated with dressing. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Keeps well for 2-3 days.
