“I made this first to take it to a retiree meeting and it went over so big that everyone was asking for the recipe”

Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients: 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until completely smooth and well combined.
Dress & Chill: Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta mixture in the large bowl and toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the ingredients. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours (or preferably longer, even overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve: When ready to serve, remove the salad from the refrigerator. Stir in the 8 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon and the cooled toasted pecans. Toss one final time and serve.
