Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
In a large skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, crumbled bacon, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and green onions.
Pour dressing over the pasta mixture and toss to coat evenly.
