Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad. Grilled chicken is tossed with Caesar dressing, cooked pasta, beautiful cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese for a lite weekday meal! 

I am a sucker for new cookbooks. My friend Alli from Cupcake Diaries just came out with a fun new summer book that is a MUST own.

It was so difficult to decide what I would make first. There are so many tasty recipes that look drool worthy.

After much debate we decided there was one tasty dish we could not pass up…

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad

This easy summer recipe is as tasty as it sounds.

We have made it time and time again with grilled OR baked chicken. That means it is an excellent way to use up leftovers.

Win? I like to think so.

It is incredibly delicious no matter which route you go.

One tip? Make sure you purchase quality Caesar dressing.

This is where you will get about 80% of your flavor. Since it coats all of the ingredients you want to make sure you pick a flavor packed version.

We like Ken’s Caesar. Not a sponsored post. Just a product we super love.

Occasionally we make this ahead of time. The secret is to wait until you are ready to serve to toss the ingredients all together. This helps the lettuce and tomatoes to stay fresh and crisp.
