Instructions
- Cook your pasta according to the package, then drain it and let it cool so it doesn’t get mushy when combined later.
- In a big bowl, toss the cooked pasta with Italian dressing, mayo, and black pepper until everything’s coated real good.
- Add your chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, halved cherry tomatoes, cubed Muenster cheese, celery, and bell pepper. Mix everything together.
- Gently fold in the chopped avocado right before serving so it stays fresh and doesn’t brown.
- Before serving, sprinkle extra black pepper and lay celery leaves on top for garnish. Serve cold or room temperature.
