4. In a large bowl, combine drained pasta, half of the bacon, chicken, tomatoes, green onions, and cheese.
5. Add Ranch dressing of your choice, we prefer Greggs Ranch Dressing from Costco. Use as much as you like.
6. Toss well to combine then refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. This will add to the flavor!
7. Garnish with sliced avocado if using and remaining bacon and green onions.

*Use any type of Ranch dressing you like or make your own.
*Purchased Rotisserie chicken is a great choice because it's already cooked and ready to fall apart!
