Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound of dry pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse the pasta under cold water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta with 2 cups shredded cooked chicken, 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 2 diced ripe avocados, and ½ cup chopped red onion. Gently fold the ingredients together.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together ½ cup white balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and black pepper to taste. Ensure that the dressing is well blended.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta salad mixture and gently toss the ingredients together until everything is well coated.
- Your Chicken Avocado Pasta Salad is now ready to enjoy! Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later. If storing, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the avocados before serving.

Notes
Use lemon juice on diced avocados to prevent browning. Cook pasta al dente; avoid overcooking. Customize with fresh herbs as desired.
