BBLT Pasta Salad Bowls

This hearty and filling salad is loaded with tasty ingredients. We crafted a vinaigrette using our Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar. A sweet-tart vinegar fully infused with the fresh and vibrant flavor of blueberries. We filled these bowls with pasta, baby spinach, avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crispy bacon.
