Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
- While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and crumble. Thaw peas in warm water or steam until bright green.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, peas, crumbled bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Toss to mix evenly.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and stir until everything is coated.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or serve immediately if short on time.

Notes
This salad can be prepared a day in advance. Reserve some dressing for serving to keep it moist. Avoid over-salting due to the salty bacon and cheese.
