Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad Recipe
This is the perfect dish to bring to a barbecue or to enjoy on the patio on a warm summer evening! Either way, I guarantee you will get rave reviews!
Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Box Penne or Ziti Pasta Shells
- 3-4 pieces Cooked chicken breast, shredded *I purchased a cooked chicken from the grocery store to make it easier!
- 1 Head Romaine Lettuce
- 2 Bottles Caesar Dressing *I use Brianna's Home Style Dressing. They are 12 oz bottles.
- 1 quart basket Cherry Tomatoes
- To Taste Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese *keep extra to garnish
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to the package.
- Slice all cherry tomatoes in half. Chop Romaine lettuce, I used 3/4 of a small head of lettuce.
- Once pasta has cooked, drain and rinse with cool water. Combine with half a bottle of the Caesar dressing and mix well. This will prevent the pasta from sticking together. Let the pasta cool for about 30 minutes before adding additional ingredients.
- Once pasta has cooled, combine the shredded chicken, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese and remaining Caesar dressing. Mix thoroughly and sprinkle with additional shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Serve and enjoy! I cool mine in the refrigerator for a couple hours before serving. But we have been known to eat it warm too!
