- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and let it cool.
- Combine the Fresh Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled rotini pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped bacon, and crispy romaine lettuce. Mix gently to avoid wilting the lettuce.

- Coat the Pasta Salad: Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss until well coated.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Add a splash of mayonnaise or olive oil if the pasta absorbs the dressing.
