Look at all that goodness in a bowl!

Crisp Romaine lettuce, store-bought


rotisserie chicken (time-saver of the
century!), crunchy croutons, Parmesan
cheese shavings and rotini noodles, all
tossed in a creamy homemade Caesar salad
dressing.

The anchovy paste is totally optional,


although it does give this Caesar its
characteristic flavor oomph. But the real
secret to the best DIY Caesar salad is the
addition of grated Parmesan cheese whisked
right into the dressing.

I love dicing up a store-bought rotisserie


chicken to make this a complete meal, but
you could easily leave out the poultry to
make this the ultimate side salad for
potlucks, casual weeknight spreads or
weekend bashes.

Roasted salmon, grilled shrimp or my


personal fave, skirt steak, would also be
welcome additions.

To save a few more minutes (from this 20-


minute dish!), whip up the dressing and
salad separately then stash them in the
fridge. When ready to serve, toss ’em
together and grab the forks.

I’m no stranger to stellar pasta salads, but


this one just gave my Greek Pasta Salad a
run for its money on my list of all-time faves!
