Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the rotini pasta. Cook for 8–10 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain in a colander and keep warm.
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, add the crispy bacon and sauté for 5–7 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm pasta and the prepared dressing. Fold in the crispy bacon until evenly coated.
- Add Fresh Veggies: Just before serving, stir in the chopped lettuce and diced tomatoes. Gently toss to combine.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the salad to your serving dish. Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes
For optimal flavor, add the fresh lettuce just before serving. This keeps them vibrant and crunchy.
