Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Once boiling, add the rotini pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes until it's al dente. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cooled rotini pasta, shredded chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, corn, finely chopped red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently mix all the ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing and BBQ sauce until fully combined. Adjust the ratio as needed.
- Pour the dressing mixture over the pasta and vegetable blend. Toss everything gently to ensure even coating.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the salad and stir lightly to combine.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, adding fresh herbs as a garnish.

Notes
For a lighter option, substitute rotini with gluten-free pasta or use Greek yogurt instead of ranch dressing.
