✨ Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad ✨
My FAVORITE pasta salad!
What Makes It Irresistible?
Creamy Caesar dressing coats every bite of tender pasta, juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and crunchy croutons—with bursts of Parmesan, red onion, and optional briny olives. It’s a hearty, flavor-packed twist on classic Caesar salad that’s perfect for potlucks, picnics, or meal prep!
How to Make It:
Cook and chill 1 pound pasta, then toss it in a large bowl with 2 cups chopped chicken, 2 cups chopped Romaine (add just before serving to keep crisp), ½ chopped red onion, 1 bag (5oz) croutons, 1 can sliced olives (if using), 1–1½ cups shredded Parmesan, 1–1½ cups crumbled bacon, and 1 bottle (16oz) creamy Caesar dressing. Mix well, add pepper to taste, and refrigerate until ready to serve!
