Putting tomatoes and pasta together is a natural pairing in most instances but I don't think I've ever had it in a cold salad before. It sounds lovely though, especially if the tomatoes are nice and juicy! The first thing I thought of after reading this recipe is why not a BLT pasta salad...I mean it's already got most of the ingredients needed. Just add some bite-size pieces of bacon and instead of lettuce, the pasta happily agrees to takes its place and all is good in the world.

My family loves it with cucumbers,tuna and peas along with the tomato's minus the sour cream. You can serve it as a meal or as a side.
