Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the small pasta noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- While the pasta cools, cook and crumble the thick-cut bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- In a large bowl, toss together the cooked pasta, thawed peas, crumbled bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Mix gently but thoroughly.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and fold in gently until all ingredients are coated evenly.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving to meld flavors. Stir before serving.

Notes
