How To Make Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
Ingredients needed
- Rotini Pasta
- Chicken (see below for tips)
- Hearts of Romaine lettuce
- Croutons
- Parmesan cheese
- Caesar dressing
Helpful tips before starting the recipe
- For the chicken you have a few options. The easiest options are to buy pre-cooked chicken like grilled strips or purchase a rotisserie chicken then shed it. If prepping for a cookout you can grill some chicken on the grill then chop it up for the salad.
- This salad is great for making ahead. My only tip with making ahead is leaving out the croutons because they can get soggy from the moisture.
Making the chicken Caesar pasta salad
- First, prep all the ingredients. You’ll need to have cooked chicken and the pasta has to be cooked as well. All the other ingredients simply need to be prepped such as chopping up the lettuce.
- Now in a bowl, add in all the ingredients except the Caesar dressing. Toss everything together then add in the Caesar dressing last.
- Add in the dressing in stages until you reach the desired level of flavor from the dressing.
