TORTELLINI CAESAR SALAD



Tortellini Caesar Salad image

This salad was served at a dear friend's baby shower by a health-conscious friend, who suggested the dressing be prepared with low-fat or fat-free ingredients. Either way, the creamy dressing has plenty of garlic flavor and coats the pasta, romaine and croutons nicely. -Tammy Steenbock, Sembach Air Base, Germany

Categories     Summer

Time 5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9 ounce) package cheese tortellini (cooked and rinsed under cold water)
1 head romaine lettuce (torn into small pieces)
1 cup prepared creamy caesar salad dressing (can use less, I use Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or to taste)
10 large cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
2 cups caesar-flavor croutons (see my Kittencal's Garlic Croutons)
black pepper (to taste)
salt (optional and to taste)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine the cooked tortellini with chopped lettuce, Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese; toss well to coat.
  • Season with black pepper to taste and salt if desired.
  • Top with sliced cherry tomatoes and croutons.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Delicious!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Try to use organic produce whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat.
  • Use a good quality Caesar dressing: The Caesar dressing is the key to this salad. Make sure to use a good quality dressing that is made with real Parmesan cheese and anchovies.
  • Add some crunch: Croutons, bacon, or nuts add a nice crunch to this salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Tortellini Chicken Caesar Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
