• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked pasta (I used fusilli)

3 packed cups shredded chicken (12 ounces cooked - about 1 pound raw)

3 cups chopped romaine lettuce (150 grams)

1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (1.5 ounces)

1 1/4 cup caesar dressing (homemade or store-bought)

salt and pepper, to taste

1-2 tablespoons lemon juice (salt and pepper, to taste)

Directions

Make the pasta according to the package instructions. Once al dente, drain and give it a quick rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.

While the pasta cooks, make your caesar dressing, chop romaine lettuce, and shred your cheese.

Mix. Add cooked pasta (once it has cooled), shredded chicken, lettuce, parmesan cheese, caesar salad dressing, and salt and pepper to a large bowl. Toss well to combine. Finish off with lemon juice and give it one more mix. Adjust according to taste.

Enjoy!
