Ingredients

8 ounces corkscrew-shaped pasta

¾ cup Italian-style salad dressing (or to taste)

¼ cup mayonnaise

2 cups chopped, cooked rotisserie chicken

12 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled

8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cubed Muenster cheese

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped green bell pepper

1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and chopped

Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender but firm to the bite (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.

In a large bowl, whisk together the Italian-style dressing and mayonnaise until smooth.

Add the cooled pasta, chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, cubed Muenster cheese, chopped celery, green bell pepper, and chopped avocado to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to combine and coat everything evenly.

You can serve the pasta salad immediately or refrigerate it for an hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Add more veggies: Feel free to include cucumbers, red onions, or corn for extra color and nutrition.

Swap the cheese: Muenster cheese can be substituted with cheddar, mozzarella, or provolone for a different flavor profile.

Spicy kick: For a little heat, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the dressing.
