Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

A fun twist on a classic caesar salad!! Packed with protein and a great meal!!

RECIPE:

• 8 ounces uncooked pasta (I used protein pasat)

• 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

• 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.
