Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Bake the 12 slices bacon for about 15 minutes until crispy. You can also use the air fryer. When done, remove from the oven and pat dry with a paper towel. Chop or crunch the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Cook the 2 c shredded chicken if needed or use canned or rotisserie.
Cook 16 oz banza farfalle pasta as directed, strain, and run under cold water to cool immediately.
While the pasta and bacon is cooking, dice the 1 avocado and 1 red onion and halve the 2 cups cherry tomatoes.
Mix the 2 tbsp mayo, ¼ c white vinegar, ¼ c avocado oil, 1 tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper, and 2 tbsp dijon mustard in a bowl or jar.
Combine everything in the large bowl with the dressing and gently mix to coat in sauce. Enjoy right away or leave in the fridge until ready to eat. This can be kept in the fridge for 5 days.
