- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Croutons for topping
Instructions
- Boil rotini until al dente, then rinse to stop cooking.

- Toss with Caesar dressing so each ingredient gets a light coating.

Notes
Use short pasta like rotini for better dressing cling. Ensure the chicken has reached a safe internal temperature of 165°F during cooking. Choose a creamy Caesar dressing you enjoy to control flavor intensity.
