½cupcrumbled cooked bacon or bacon lardons(optional)
Instructions
Toss the pasta with the olive oil, cherry tomatoes, and feta. Add about ¼ cup of the herbed mayo and toss until everything is well coated. Add more mayo by the tablespoon if it seems dry. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed, remembering that you will be adding bacon (if you are adding bacon), which will add saltiness and pepperiness.
Just before serving, toss in the bacon if desired.
Notes
You can make this Pasta Salad with Tomatoes, Feta and Herbed Mayonnaise up to a day or two ahead of time, knowing that because it will have to be refrigerated the tomatoes won’t be a luscious as tomatoes that have never seen the inside of a fridge. If all all possible, never put tomatoes in the fridge.
