Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

Ingredients:

1 1/2 chicken breasts, grilled

6 oz. penne pasta

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped or shredded

1/2 med. size cucumber or 2 small ones

1 roma tomato, chopped

2-3 green onions, chopped

1 carrot, shredded (I chopped up baby carrots)

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup croutons

Caesar salad dressing, to taste

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to package. Drain water, rinse with cold water and set aside to cool.

2. Chop grilled chicken in to small chunks.

3. In a large bowl, toss together the veggies, pasta, romaine, chicken, parmesan, and croutons.

4. Add caesar dressing to taste and enjoy!

This salad has great flavor and crunch! 

I wasn't so sure about how I was going to like the addition of the pasta but I loved it!

So did my hubby! And it made great leftovers!! My co-workers thought I had bought it at the store.
