Make-Ahead Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad | Perfect for Meal Prepping!

Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt dressing

💰Cheaper: vinaigrette

Greek yogurt dressing reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Start by making the dressing: In a bowl, add some olive oil.

Squeeze in the juice of 1 whole lemon using a citrus press.

Add 1/4 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Pour in a splash of worcestershire sauce.

Add some dijon mustard.

Grate 1 whole clove of garlic into the dressing.

Season the dressing with salt and pepper and whisk until combined.

In a large bowl, add cooked rotini pasta that has cooled completely.

Toss the pasta with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Add chopped romaine lettuce to the pasta.

Incorporate grilled chicken into the bowl.

Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients.

Add chopped cooked bacon to the mixture.

Sprinkle in some shredded parmesan cheese.

Toss everything together until well coated with the dressing.

Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Add croutons right before serving to prevent sogginess.
