Chicken BLT pasta salad with creamy poppy seed dressing

1. Whisk together all dressing ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Cook rotini according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water (to stop the cooking action) and drain again. Transfer rotini to a very large bowl.
3. Add all remaining ingredients to cooked rotini and mix well. Add the prepared dressing (all of it) and mix again, until all ingredients are well coated. Serve immediately.

Tip: Not crazy about poppy seed dressing? Use Ranch or Caesar dressing instead.
Some grated sharp cheddar makes it even beddar! But don’ t go crazy, please. The salad’s already pretty decadent 🙂
