Noodles, I love noodles but I also love health. This salad is the perfect combination of both. I hope you enjoy this version of pasta caesar salad as much as I do.
Easy, practical, family-friendly, and convertible. This easy caesar salad is one you’ll want to add to your recipe bank. You can eat it plain, add some grilled chicken or sauteed shrimp and you can’t go wrong.
Let me also fill you in on another secret – if you’re looking for a pot luck dish – this is it. I promise it’s a crowd-pleaser, holds well, and takes no time at all to whip it up. This is a recipe that needs to go into your back pocket.
I’d love to see how you mix up this recipe, pairing with grilled steak, mixing in some sweet bell peppers, or topping with roasted chickpeas! Take a picture and tag me on social media. Enjoy.
Notes: You can make this recipe dairy-free by omitting the parmesan cheese and using a dairy-free caesar dressing. Speaking of the dressing, my homemade caesar dressing works well but for convenience, I use Drew’s Organic Dressing.
- 6-8 cups spinach, chopped
- 8 oz bow-tie pasta, cooked {I used gluten-free}
- 1-pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber, peeled
- 1 cup Caesar Dressing {I used Drew's Salad Dressing}
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- Fresh Basil {optional}
- Cook pasta according to directions. Strain and rinsed once finished.
- Meanwhile, chop spinach and add to a large bowl.
- Halve or quarter cherry tomatoes and slice and quarter cucumber into small pieces.
- Add to spinach salad along with cooked pasta.
- Toss with salad dressing.
- Top with parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil {optional}
