What can you add to your Caesar salad to take it to the next level? Chicken and pasta! This Chicken Pasta Caesar salad is loaded with those and more!
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 like Salmon Piccata Salad or Southern BBQ Chicken Salad . 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!
How to make this Chicken Pasta Caesar Salad:
- Cook the veggie rotini according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the pasta is cooking chop up the lettuces and other ingredients. I always wash my lettuces before using/eating using a salad spinner. (affiliate link)
- Put the chopped and washed 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, Low Bowls(affiliate link)!!! They are like a big plate with short bowl sides! I use them for salads and pasta dishes!
- Top your salads with hard boiled eggs, peas, avocados, parmesan cheese and croutons!!! Devour immediately!
What is the best Caesar salad dressing?
My preference is Brianna’s brand dressing. However, any higher quality dressing should be fine.
What goes well with Caesar Salad?
We like a nice crusty loaf of French Bread or Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls!
