- 1 large romaine lettuce ((or 2 small heads))
- 1/2 lb fusilli pasta (cooked al dente according to package instructions)
- 1 medium avocado (peeled, pitted and diced)
- 1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 cup Grated parmesan cheese (to taste)
- 1/4 cup Caesar Dressing (or added to taste)
- 1/2 cup Croutons
- Sliced Grilled chicken or Shrimp
Steps
Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse in cold water and set aside to drain.
Rinse, chop and spin the romaine lettuce dry using a salad spinner. If you don't have a salad spinner, pat dry with a clean towel. The dressing will coat the salad much better if the lettuce isn't wet. Transfer lettuce to a large mixing bowl. Toss in the pasta, diced avocado, and halved tomatoes.
Add the Caesar Dressing to really boost the flavor of this salad. Toss to evenly coat the lettuce. Add the dressing to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan and croutons.
