Ingredients
  

8 oz farfalle pasta

2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced

1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup croutons

1/2 cup Caesar dressing

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the farfalle pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: If you haven’t cooked the chicken yet, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or sauté until cooked through and let it rest before dicing.

      Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled farfalle pasta, diced chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.

        Add the Creaminess: Pour in the Caesar dressing and toss everything together until well-coated.

          Finishing Touches: Gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese and croutons, keeping some for garnish. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

            Garnish and Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. Top with extra Parmesan, croutons, and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.

              Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavors, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delightful twist on a classic salad!
