Ingredients

Homemade Caesar Dressing

  • 1?cup?mayonnaise
  • 2?cloves?garlic pressed or minced
  • 2?tablespoons?fresh lemon juice
  • 1?teaspoon?Dijon mustard
  • 1?teaspoon?anchovy paste
  • 1?teaspoon?Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1?pinch?kosher salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper to taste

Chicken Pasta Salad

  • 1?lb.?penne pasta cooked al dente
  • 4?cups?romaine lettuce washed and chopped
  • 2??cups?cooked chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1??cups?homemade croutons
  • 1?cup?grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • ??cup?shredded or shaved Parmesan Cheese
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta al dente according to the directions on the box and drain well in a colander. Rinse with just a little bit of cold water to stop the cooking process and to keep the pasta from sticking to each other.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the mayo, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, Worcestershire Sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper to taste.?
  • In a large serving bowl, add the pasta and stir to cool. Once cool, add the romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, homemade croutons, grape tomatoes, Parmesan Cheese, and the dressing. Stir gently to coat.? Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Yes, real Caesar Dressing is made with anchovies. The taste is very subtle, and it is not going to smell like fish.
  • This salad is best served shortly after it is prepared. Store the salad covered in the fridge until serving time.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The lettuce will not stay as crisp, and the croutons will not stay as crunchy, but it is still flavorful.
