Drain the pasta, then rinse the noodles under cool water and drain again. Place the pasta in a large bowl.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> If you don\u2019t have the other ingredients already prepped and ready to go, the pasta may stick together as it sits. Prevent this by drizzling in a <em>tiny<\/em> bit of olive oil and giving it a toss.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Toss the pasta salad<\/h3>\n<p>Add in the chopped romaine, chicken, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, slivered almonds and, if you&#8217;d like, the croutons.

Tuscan kale, curly kale, a spring mix or arugula can be used instead. If you\u2019re using kale, make sure to cut it up and then massage it with a splash of olive oil and lemon juice to remove any bitterness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it gluten-free:<\/strong>\u00a0Omit the croutons, switch the pasta out for gluten-free pasta and double check that your salad dressing is certified gluten-free.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try another protein:<\/strong> Once you&#8217;ve made this recipe a few times, you might want to switch things up by using another protein.

The lettuce will become more wilted in the dressing the longer it sits.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I make this ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can make the components of this salad ahead of time, but don\u2019t mix everything together until you\u2019re ready to serve.

As the story goes, on a busy weekend at his restaurant, Cardini ran out of the ingredients to make one of the menu\u2019s salads, so he scraped together what he had on-hand and created the Caesar salad. Everyone loved it, and by the 1940s, Caesar salad became a menu staple in restaurants across America.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Caesar salad have anchovies?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, Caesar salad dressing traditionally contains anchovies. They add an umami flavor that really rounds out the salad. There are fish-less Caesar dressing brands out there for the anchovy-averse, and you could make your own Caesar salad dressing without anchovies, like the one from our classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caesar-salad\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/caesar-salad\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Caesar salad<\/a> recipe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicken Caesar pasta salad is like the Goldilocks of lunch ideas.
