About This Recipe
This chicken caesar pasta salad is a fun twist on a classic caesar salad. Made with pasta, shredded chicken, lettuce, parmesan cheese, and a homemade healthy caesar dressing. Perfect for an easy meal or for summer cookouts.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked pasta ((I used fusilli))
- 3 packed cups shredded chicken ((12 ounces cooked - about 1 pound raw))
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce ((150 grams))
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese ((1.5 ounces))
- 1 1/4 cup caesar dressing ((homemade or store-bought))
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice (salt and pepper, to taste)
Instructions
- Make the pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and give it a quick rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
- While the pasta cooks, make your caesar dressing, chop romaine lettuce, and shred your cheese.
- Mix. Add cooked pasta (once it has cooled), shredded chicken, lettuce, parmesan cheese, caesar salad dressing, and salt and pepper to a large bowl. Toss well to combine. Finish off with lemon juice and give it one more mix. Adjust according to taste.
- Enjoy!
