Creamy Caesar Pasta Salad

Chef notes

If you love a classic Caesar salad but want something with more volume and nutrition, this creamy Caesar pasta salad is calling your name. It combines tender penne, crisp romaine and a smooth and creamy avocado-based Caesar dressing for an out-of-the-box experience. Toasted pecans add a buttery crunch in place of croutons, while optional shaved Parmesan takes it over the top. Whether served as a flavorful side or a protein-packed main with chicken or shrimp, this salad is an easy, nutrient-rich meal you’ll want to make again and again.
