Ingredients
Scale:
8 oz gluten-free pasta (such as rotini or penne)
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Start by cooking the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, preventing it from becoming mushy. Set aside to cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, and sliced green onions. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamy Caesar dressing, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the pasta salad mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Once ready to serve, give the salad a good toss and add more Parmesan cheese if desired.
