Description

Ingredients

• 1 large or 2 medium heads of romaine lettuce
• ½ lb fusilli pasta, cooked al dente according to package instructions
• 1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• Grated parmesan cheese, to taste
• Marzetti® Simply Dressed® Caesar Dressing
• Croutons
• Sliced Grilled chicken or Shrimp

Directions

• Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse in cold water and set aside to drain.
• Rinse, chop and spin the romaine lettuce dry using a salad spinner. If you dont have a salad spinner, pat dry with a clean towel. The dressing will coat the salad much better if the lettuce isnt wet. Transfer lettuce to a large mixing bowl. Toss in the diced avocado and halved tomatoes.
• Add the Marzetti Simply Dressed Caesar Dressing to really boost the flavor of this salad. Toss to evenly coat the lettuce. Add the dressing to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan and croutons.
