It’s this time of year salads are my go-to for lunches and dinners. Honestly, I eat them year round but during the summer they become what I eat almost daily. There are so many amazing and flavorful salads out there but this CHICKEN CAESAR PASTA SALAD has to be my favorite.
Serves: 6
Ingredients
12 ounces pasta (any shape you like. I use rotini)
2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded ( I season mine with a little lemon-pepper seasoning)
1 to 2 large hearts Romaine lettuce, rinsed, dried then chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
1 cup seasoned croutons
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
For dressing: Use your favorite Caesar salad dressing (we love Brianna’s brand of dressing)
OR use this Homemade Caesar Dressing recipe below:
1 cup light mayonnaise
⅓ cup sour cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
