Foodie Friday ~ Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

Happy Friday!!! This is a recipe inspired my my oldest daughter, Brooke. It combines two of her favorite dinners of all time ~ Chicken Caesar salad and penne pasta! This recipe is delicious, easy and can feed a CROWD!

Here's the dressing I always use for my Caesar Salad ~

Giard's Caesar Dressing ~ Maybe you have your fave Caesar dressing, but Giard's dressings are all SO GOOD. I also love their Chinese Chicken Salad dressing.

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
5-6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1/2 box Penne pasta, cooked and cooled
2 faux grilled chicken breasts, diced (method HERE) or any leftover grilled/cooked chicken will work (diced)
Cherry tomatoes (to taste)
1-2 cups Caesar croutons (I use store bought)
1/2-1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup to 1 cup Caesar dressing (to taste)

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; chill until ready to serve.

2. When you're ready to serve it up, squeeze the juice of the lemon over the top and toss with Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese.

That's all she wrote. To Brooke, it's heaven on a plate. I know you'll love it too!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!! See you back here for Seven on Sunday!
