Chicken Bacon Avocado Pasta Salad

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt. Cook the spiral pasta according to the package directions, adding 1 to 2 extra minutes for a softer pasta salad texture. Drain, rinse briefly under cool water, and let it drain well.

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Lower in the eggs and boil for 9 minutes. Transfer them to cold water, let them cool for 5 minutes, then peel and cut into quarters.

To make the dressing, blend the avocado, buttermilk, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Stir in the dill and blend briefly just to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Place the cooled pasta in a very large bowl. Add the chicken, bacon, cherry tomatoes, red onion, celery, and avocado dressing. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

Fold in the quartered eggs carefully so they stay mostly intact. Serve right away, or chill for a short time before serving.
