Caesar Pasta Salad
Combine the beloved flavors of Caesar salad with perfectly cooked pasta in this crowd-pleasing Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad. This Italian-inspired Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad dish features tender chicken, al dente pasta, and crisp romaine lettuce, all brought together with the rich and creamy taste of American Garden Creamy Caesar Dressing. Perfect for potlucks, picnics, or as a refreshing main course.
PRO TIP: For the best results, cook your pasta just until al dente and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. This prevents the pasta from becoming mushy. Make this salad up to 24 hours in advance, but reserve some American Garden Creamy Caesar Dressing to toss in just before serving to keep the salad fresh and creamy. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of the American Garden Creamy Caesar Dressing and lemon juice before cooking.
Storage Tip: This chicken caesar salad with pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If making ahead, add the croutons and extra dressing just before serving to maintain their texture.

Preparation
Marinate the chicken: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine American Garden Creamy Caesar Dressing, American Garden Lemon Juice, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for 15-30 minutes.
Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water. Toss with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cooked chicken, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, half of the Parmesan cheese, and red onion.
Dress the salad: Add American Garden Creamy Caesar Dressing and American Garden Lemon Juice to the bowl. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Finish and serve: Top with remaining Parmesan cheese, croutons, and fresh black pepper. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Before serving: Give the salad a quick toss and add extra American Garden Creamy Caesar Dressing if needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
