  3. In a bowl or jar, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice or vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a large bowl, combine pasta, turkey, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, cheese, eggs, and pickles.
  5. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  7. Toss again before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • Use grilled chicken or ham instead of turkey.
  • Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or cucumbers.
  • Try different cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack.
  • Replace some mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • For crunch, add the lettuce just before serving.
