Instructions
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions.
- Drain the pasta and run cold water over the pasta until cool.
- Place the pasta in a bowl and toss with dressing. Add the bacon, cherry tomatoes, lettuce and avocado. Stir gently to coat.
- Sprinkle with parsley then serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use pre-cooked bacon and pre-shredded lettuce if you’re looking to save even more time.
- I typically use rotini for this recipe, but any short variety of pasta will work – penne or farfalle are two great options.
- Look for firm but ripe avocados so that they don’t get mushy in the salad when tossed.
- I typically use a high quality store bought refrigerated ranch dressing or homemade ranch dressing.
