Drain them before mincing and mashing to a paste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong> I recommend using good quality mayonnaise such as Hellman&#8217;s\/ Best Food&#8217;s for great flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon:<\/strong> Fresh lemon is a must here. Bottled just won&#8217;t be the same.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parmesan cheese:<\/strong> I recommend real parmesan from the deli (such as Murray&#8217;s) that you&#8217;ve freshly grated with a rasp grater.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dijon mustard:<\/strong> This is a bold ingredient which is why such a small amount is used so it doesn&#8217;t overpower.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Worcestershire sauce:<\/strong> This is another bold ingredient that really carries a flavor boost with just a little being added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Fresh garlic is best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt <\/strong>and<strong> pepper:<\/strong> Season to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the salad you&#8217;ll need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Penne pasta:<\/strong> Cook as directed on the package to al dente. You can use other types of pasta (see note below).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Romaine lettuce:<\/strong> I recommend using Romaine lettuce hearts as these are more crisp and will hold up better in the pasta salad as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grilled chicken breasts:<\/strong> I have a marinating method I love to use for grilled chicken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/grilled-chicken-breasts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grape tomatoes:<\/strong> Cherry tomatoes will work here too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley:<\/strong> This ingredient actually isn&#8217;t a must, it can be omitted if you don&#8217;t have it. It just adds a little more fresh herby flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parmesan cheese:<\/strong> This sharp cheese is added to both the dressing and the salad for plenty of rich taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Croutons:<\/strong> I use this recipe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/caesar-salad-recipe-homemade-caesar-salad-dressing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> for homemade croutons (and you can freeze extra for longer shelf life).

Also set aside 1\/4 cup dressing (in the fridge) to toss with the lettuce before adding to the pasta salad.<\/p>\n<p>And you can thin the pasta salad with a little water the next day before adding the lettuce and croutons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I Use Another Type of Pasta?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Other types of bite size pasta will work great here as well. You can use bowtie pasta (farfalle), fusilli, rotini, campenelle, or orecchiette.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will Rotisserie Chicken Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have time to grill chicken a store-bought rotisserie chicken will work really well here too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can Chicken Thighs be Used?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grilled chicken thighs are a great alternative to chicken breasts in this recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Can I Make the Dressing Healthier\/Lighter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to make a lighter dressing try substituting plain Greek yogurt with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Reduce lemon to 2 Tbsp since it&#8217;s already quite tangy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-72373\" title=\"Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad\"
