This vegan BLT pasta salad is a fun spin on traditional creamy pasta salad. It's also a way to enjoy crispy tempeh bacon, sweet cherry tomatoes, and crunchy romaine lettuce. The dressing for the pasta salad is a homemade vegan mayo, made with cashews, but you can substitute store-bought vegan mayonnaise if you prefer.
