Avocado lovers, this is for you! This easy BLAT Pasta Salad not only contains chunks of avocado, but it also features a creamy avocado ranch dressing. If that’s not enough, a few extra avocado slices make a beautiful garnish! After the pasta and bacon are cooked, this salad comes together quickly.
The dressing is made in the blender to ensure a smooth consistency and can be made in advance to save time. This would be a great dish to prepare for your next barbecue, but it’s also substantial enough to serve on its own as a light meal, or with your favourite protein to create a complete family dinner.
BLAT Pasta Salad is a fantastic recipe to meal prep and make ahead of time. The avocado ranch dressing can keep up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Combine it with the remaining ingredients just before serving.

This homemade dressing is very fresh tasting with the herbs. It was super easy make with an immersion blender. I love a salad with ‘items to chase’ in the bowl and this salad doesn’t disappoint!
