Boil and Cook Pasta

Start by boiling a big pot of salted water. Once it’s bubbling, add the pasta and cook it for about 8 to 10 minutes until it’s just tender. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking and cool it down.

Toss pasta salad

In a large bowl, gently mix the pasta with avocado, tomato, dressing, and crispy bacon. Give everything a good toss so the flavors come together.

Chill the Salad

Pop the salad in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to serve. It tastes best cold and fresh!
