👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Drain and let cool, 10 to 15 minutes.

Mix rotini pasta, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, Italian dressing, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

Chill until flavors combine, about 1 hour.

Toss avocado with lemon juice in a bowl.

Mix into the pasta salad before serving.
