This pasta salad is surprisingly good! I was a little against the caesar salad pasta salad for a while, thinking the two just wouldn't go together - but I was wrong. It's a nice combination - fresh and crisp salad, warm pasta, tasty grilled chicken and crunch from the croutons. I loved this for a lighter pasta dish, and my husband grilled the chicken which made it even easier! I love this idea for serving at a party, or making for meal prep. I noted storing suggestions below in the notes if you plan to make it for meal prep!

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Cook pasta according to package instructions and grill chicken.
While those are cooking, slice your romaine. I do it like a salad, in bite-size pieces.
Start with 1/2c of your caesar dressing, and drizzle it onto the salad. Toss.
Once the chicken is finished grilling, cut into bite size pieces.
If serving for a party, add everything to a large bowl and combine.
If serving for dinner and may have leftovers, assemble plates separately.
I served for dinner, so we did pasta, salad, chicken and croutons in a bowl and tossed it. Then plated.
Feel free to add more of your dressing to your liking here.
Store all leftover ingredients separately.

Notes

If you are making this for a meal prep situation, I would leave the dressing off the salad and add it when serving so it doesn't get really soggy. So you would add everything to your meal prep containers, adding the lettuce and croutons last on top, then pack dressing separately.
