Before every trip for groceries, I prepare my list, and find at least one really tasty recipe that I'd like to make. Here's my next one, a twist on a macaroni salad:

BLT Salad

2 cups cooked large-shell macaroni
bacon bits, to taste
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced lettuce
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. cider vinegar
1/4 cup mayo
1/6 cup light soy sour cream
1/2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste

• In a large bowl, combine the macaroni, “bacon” bits, tomatoes, and lettuce.
• In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cider vinegar, mayo, soy sour cream, mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Pour over the macaroni mixture and stir to combine.
  
• Chill before serving.
