Ingredients
For the Caesar Salad:
- 1 large romaine lettuce (or 2 small heads)
- 1/2 lb fusilli pasta cooked al dente according to package instructions
- 1 medium avocado peeled, pitted and diced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 1/4 cup Grated parmesan cheese to taste
- 1/4 cup Marzetti Simply Dressed Caesar Dressing or added to taste
- 1/2 cup croutons
Instructions
- Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse in cold water and set aside to drain.
- Rinse, chop and spin the romaine lettuce dry using a salad spinner. If you don’t have a salad spinner, pat dry with a clean towel. The dressing will coat the salad much better if the lettuce isn’t wet. Transfer lettuce to a large mixing bowl. Toss in the diced avocado and halved tomatoes.
- Add the Caesar Dressing to really boost the flavor of this salad. Toss to evenly coat the lettuce. Add the dressing to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan and croutons.
- Enjoy .
