Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the corkscrew-shaped pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Rinse the pasta under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes to cool it down and remove excess starch.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Italian-style salad dressing and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooled pasta to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold in the chopped chicken, crispy bacon, cubed cheese, chopped celery, green bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes.
- Cube the avocado and fold it into the salad just before serving.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes
