Creating Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad requires just a few simple steps. Follow these instructions for a delicious result:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the rotini or fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

2. Prepare the Chicken: If you haven’t already cooked the chicken, you can boil or bake it until cooked through. Allow it to cool and then shred it into bite-sized pieces.

3. Mix Buffalo Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated.

4. Combine Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, celery, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and green onions.

5. Incorporate Dressings: Pour the ranch or blue cheese dressing over the pasta mixture. Add the buffalo chicken and stir everything together until well mixed. Make sure all ingredients are coated in the dressing.

6. Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper, adjusting seasoning according to your preference.

7. Chill: Cover the salad and place it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

8. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and added flavor.
