Ingredients

12 Oz Rotini
2 Chicken Breasts - Cooked or Cubed
1 Large Romain Lettuce - Chopped
1 Cup Cherry Tomato - Halved
3/4 Cup Caesar Dressing - To Taste
1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese - Grated
1 Cup Croutons
1-2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tsp Salt And Pepper - To Taste
Parmesan Cheese - Garnish

Directions

Cook the pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water, then allow it to cool completely.
Place the cooled pasta in a large bowl and toss with about half of the Caesar dressing and the fresh lemon juice.
Add the cooked chicken, chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
Pour in the remaining Caesar dressing and gently toss everything together until evenly coated. Add more dressing if you prefer a creamier pasta salad.
Just before serving, fold in most of the croutons so they remain crunchy.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and a little salt, if needed.
Finish with the remaining croutons, extra shaved Parmesan, and another sprinkle of black pepper. Serve immediately or chilled.
