Broccoli Bacon & Pasta Salad

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pompeian. All opinions are 100% mine.

I just shared a delicious Pasta Salad recipe and now I am back with another one. This Broccoli Bacon & Pasta Salad is made with Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar and all sorts of delicious stuff {hello, bacon!} It’s the perfect summer salad.

The dressing couldn’t be simpler to make. The Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar gives such a great tangy flavor.
