Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water.

Prepare the other ingredients: crumble the bacon, chop the chicken, slice the cherry tomatoes, and dice the green bell pepper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, crumbled bacon, chopped chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cheddar, celery, and green bell pepper. Drizzle with ranch dressing and mix gently.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavors.
