Made with pickles, bacon and two types of cheese (cheddar & cream cheese) seasoned with Flav-O-Matic, this pasta salad is big on flavour. This salad is ideal for any backyard barbeque get-together, to take to a potluck with friends, or to serve at a casual weeknight family meal. Or make a big batch to snack on throughout the week.
