Ingredients
- 3 cups uncooked fusilli pasta
- 5 trips Bacon cut into small pieces
- 1/2 medium red onion chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
- 1 dry pint grape tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (use my recipe or bottled)
- fresh parsley chopped, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- If making my ranch dressing, do that first and then keep it in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta. Cook according to package directions and rinse pasta under cool water once it's cooked. Let it drain thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crispy. I cut it up using kitchen shears to make it easy.
- Prep your onion, chicken, tomatoes, and parsley (if using), and add them to a large salad bowl. Add the pasta and bacon when they're ready to go.
- Toss with the dressing (start with 1/2 cup and add more if needed) and season with salt & pepper if needed. Serve immediately or chill first.
Notes
- You can use your favorite bottled ranch dressing to save time if you wish.
