Boil 8 ounces of your favorite pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and let it cool completely in a colander.

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cooled pasta, 1 cup of diced pickles, and 6 crispy slices of crumbled bacon.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta mixture. Stir gently until well coated.

Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
