In March I posted this Caesar Salad appetizer recipe below. It features all your favorite Caesar Salad ingredients on toasted baguette slices.

Now it's time to give Caesar another nod with Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad.

It's a salad with a twist ready in 20 minutes guaranteed to be a family favorite. The ingredients can be increased depending on the amount of servings needed. Bowtie pasta can be substituted for mostaccioli. Grilled chicken can be prepared ahead and chilled. Chill salad ahead without romaine to avoid wilting. Add romaine just before serving. 

Note: Due to deer sneaking into our yard under the cover of darkness my ENTIRE tomato crop from 5 healthy plants was eaten. What a blow so hard to accept!! No tomatoes when photo was taken.
