Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool the pasta quickly. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, diced chicken breast, crumbled bacon, chopped romaine lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced black olives, and thinly sliced red onion.
