How to Make Caesar Pasta Salad!

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: homemade vinaigrette

Yogurt-based dressing reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought bread cubes

Toasted whole grain bread is healthier and can be made at home.

anchovies

🥗Healthier: umami paste

💰Cheaper: fish sauce

Umami paste provides similar flavor without the fish.

Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions. Drain pasta and rinse under cold water.

In a large serving bowl combine romaine, chicken, and pasta. Pour dressing over salad and mix until combined. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and croutons. Serve immediately.

If you are not serving it immediately toss salad ingredients together except dressing. When you are ready to serve the salad toss salad with dressing and garnish with Parmesan cheese and croutons to avoid the salad from turning soggy.
