I forgot to add I also omitted the hard boiled egg and added sliced grape tomatoes.

If you omit the 2 1/2 Tablespoons of bacon grease and all of the salt, it’s delicious. There is enough salt and sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate in the bacon so there is no needed salt addition. There is also enough fat in the rendered bacon so no additional bacon fat is needed. Makes it a much more healthy option yet still yummy.

My local fish and chip shop in the 90’s used to make this exact pasta salad and I haven’t had it in years! I remembered the ingredients had bacon, eggs, pepper and spring onion in it. But didn’t know what it was called or how the mayo dressing was made. I’ve wanted to replicate the salad for years and this recipe looks like the one the fish shop owner used! I remember the mayo dressing wasn’t exactly mayo on it’s own. So perhaps bacon grease and vinegar was the missing component! Look forward to making this!

Cooking for one, I cut the pasta portion in half but keep add-ins the same. Plus I cut up some tomato and bell pepper right before eating. Makes a good light meal.

Tasty salad, the only improvement I would make is doubling up on the hard-boiled eggs
