To make this pasta salad, I started by cooking some cavatappi pasta according to the directions on the package.
Then I drained the pasta and rinsed it with cold water to cool it down.
Once the pasta was cold, I gently dabbed it with some paper towel to soak up any remaining water.
Then I dumped the pasta into a large mixing bowl.
I added some mayo, ranch dressing, medium chunky salsa, salt and pepper to the bowl.
I stirred until all of the pasta was coated in the dressing.
Then I added some shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped green onions to the bowl.
I also added some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the bowl.
I stirred until all of the ingredients were fully combined.
Then I added some crumbled Doritos to the bowl.
I stirred just until the crumbled nacho chips were distributed throughout the salad.
Then I served the salad immediately.
