Looking for a healthy but filling meal for dinner? Try this chicken pasta caesar salad! It is loaded with tons of extras and packed with flavor!
Here we are at the beginning of a new year! If you are anything like me you are still working to get back into the routine of normal life. You may also be looking to eat a bit healthier than you probably have been over the last couple months. We really like dinner salads. In looking for some new salad ideas I saw, Caesar salad recipes, pasta Caesar salad and chicken Caesar salad recipes. They all seemed to be missing this, that or the pizzazz I was looking for. And I like my salads to be loaded with lots of yummy stuff. My Chicken Pasta Caesar Salad is LOADED with all sorts of good things! Plus it is quick and easy to throw together! Click on over and see for yourself!!!
It is so easy to throw this salad together. Cook the veggie rotini according to the package directions. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. While the pasta is cooking chop up the lettuces and other ingredients. If you hate chopping ingredients because you have dull knives but you’re not sure how to sharpen them yourself then you’ll want to check out this knife sharpener. I was skeptical at first, this knife sharpener from Zulay Kitchens is amazing! And easy to use. Remember a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. I always wash my lettuces before using/eating using a salad spinner. Spinning salad is one of my kids favorite things to do. Put the chopped lettuces, cooked pasta, chopped up chicken, and chopped red onions in a large mixing bowl. Toss to mix. Pour the Caesar dressing (I always use Brianna’s Asiago Caesar dressing) over the lettuce mix. Toss to coat well with the dressing.
Divide up the salad among 4 dinner plates or among one of my most favorite serving dishes, dinner plate bowls!!! They are like a big plate with short bowl sides! I use them for salads and pasta dishes! The finished salad is pictured in one below! Top your salads with hard boiled eggs, peas, avocados, parmesan cheese and croutons!!! Devour immediately!
