Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon
- ½ (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
- 1 ripe avocado, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 (8 ounce) bottle creamy Italian salad dressing (such as Marie's®)
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup diced green onions
- 1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives
- 1 medium tomato, diced
Directions
Step 1
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop when cool enough to handle.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
While pasta is cooking, place chopped avocado in a small bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss gently to coat.
Step 4
Rinse pasta under cool water and drain; transfer to a large bowl. Add chopped bacon, salad dressing, Monterey Jack cheese, green onions, black olives, and tomatoes; stir to combine. Gently stir in avocados. Place in the refrigerator to chill, 8 hours to overnight.
