I had leftover pasta noodles from my meal prep that I had set aside so I scoped out my fridge for what I had that I could make. THIS is what I came up with and WOW how is it that I never have mixed up pasta and salad?

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

This turned out AMAZING! Who knew pasta and salad mixed would be delicious? Ok ok…apparently a lot of people except for me!

I am not a huge pasta eater so it didn't dawn on me to think of adding pasta to a salad with lettuce. Or should I say adding lettuce to a pasta salad?

Either way, this combination is fantastic and such a great warm weather treat!
