Instructions
- Bring a large pot water to a boil over high heat. Season generously with salt.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning as needed, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. (You may need to cook the bacon in two batches, draining the rendered fat from the skillet between batches.) Let the bacon cool to room temperature, then crumble up into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the pasta one minute more than package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and let cool.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Add the pasta, tomatoes, cheese, peas, pimentos, olives, green onion, and half of the bacon, and toss until well combined. Season salad with salt and pepper, to taste. Top salad with the remaining bacon and serve.
