Caesar Pasta Salad

Caesar Pasta Salad

Everyday

Caesar pasta salad is a modern, hearty twist on the classic Caesar salad, substituting romaine lettuce with cooked pasta as its base. This cold dish combines al dente pasta with creamy Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons, often incorporating grilled chicken for added protein. While rich in carbohydrates from the pasta and fats from the dressing, it can be adapted using whole-grain noodles or lighter dressings for a more balanced nutritional profile.
