Caesar Pasta Salad

/

It’s summer in Chicago which means we try and keep our home as cool as possible. Not turning on the stove for hours at a time is usually the name of the game when it comes to dinner. That is how we ended up with Pasta Caesar Salad in our weekly rotation. You can make anything in it from scratch or use ready-made ingredients – whatever works! 

  • Caesar dressing

  • cherry tomatoes, halved 

  • parmesan cheese, shredded 

  • lettuce (anything you want! Romaine, arugula, blend, etc.), chopped 

  • croutons 

  • cooked pasta noodles (short works best like rotini or rigatoni)

  • chicken (rotisserie is our go to) or shrimp 

Not much instruction here plus the ratios are totally up to you! Toss all ingredients together and serve. Some nights we go heavier on pasta and others on lettuce. We also have fun adding in other ingredients like avocado, olives, or chickpeas. It’s always a crowd pleaser!
