Notes
- Make ahead of time. Store it covered in the fridge. Store the bacon bits in a separate container. Save ¼ of the dressing to add right before serving. Wait to cut the avocado to avoid browning. To serve, mix in the remaining dressing. Add the bacon and avocado.
- STORE leftovers, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a little Italian dressing if the pasta gets a bit dry.
