Chicken Club Pasta Salad

Chicken club sandwich-style pasta! Substitute Monterey Jack cheese for the Muenster, if desired.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces corkscrew-shaped pasta
• 0.75 cup Italian-style salad dressing
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 cups chopped, cooked rotisserie chicken
• 12 slices crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup cubed Muenster cheese
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and chopped

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
2. Whisk Italian-style dressing and mayonnaise together in a large bowl. Stir pasta, chicken, bacon, Muenster cheese, celery, green bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and avocado into dressing until evenly coated.
