Equipment

  • large pot
  • Large Bowl
  • Medium Bowl

Ingredients
  

For the Pasta Salad

  • 12 ounces cooked chicken see note below for cooking methods
  • 8 ounces rotini
  • 1 large head Romaine lettuce chopped

For the Caesar Dressing

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon low sodium Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 lemons juiced about 2 tablespoons
  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast optional but recommended

Instructions
 

  • Take your cooked chicken, and cut it into thin slices or strips. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook rotini according to package instructions - you want it a little al dente for texture. Drain, rinse under cold water, and place in a large bowl.
  • Add the chopped romaine and chicken to the bowl with the pasta.
  • In a medium bowl, add all the dressing ingredients. Mix well to combine.
  • Pour dressing over the pasta salad, toss, and enjoy. I like to dress my salad with additional fresh lemon juice and black pepper before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for 1 day.

Notes

A Note on Cooked Chicken

I used cooked chicken for this recipe, specifically my low sodium grilled chicken recipe. You can also use a low sodium oven baked chicken, or a whole chicken that's been cooked in the oven or pressure cooker.
