Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- In a large bowl, stir together the Ranch dressing, onion, and tomatoes. Mix in the cooled pasta. The pasta will absorb some of the dressing, so don't worry if it seems like too much. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Crumble bacon over the top just before serving.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces, noodles, spinach, Romain lettuce, tomatoes and bacon until fully combined.
- In a smaller separate bowl, combine the ranch, barbecue sauce, and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the dressing to the salad.
- Sprinkle with extra pepper and add avocado as a garnish.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your pasta salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp bacon, and tender chicken.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can quickly become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.
- Use a variety of textures: A good pasta salad should have a variety of textures, from the soft pasta to the crisp bacon and vegetables. Aim for a mix of textures that will keep your taste buds interested.
- Don't drown the salad in dressing: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy and heavy. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
- Chill the salad before serving: Pasta salad is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Conclusion:
Chicken BLT pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for summer potlucks and picnics. It's packed with flavor and texture, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
