One of my favorite salads is a caesar salad. I make it often at home to pair with Italian dishes and I order it frequently when we eat out.
I love the creamy caesar dressing paired with crunchy croutons and sharp parmesan cheese. It makes my mouth happy.
This recipe amps up the typical caesar salad by adding chicken which is an addition you see often, especially when using it as a main dish. However, the version has the addition of pasta, more specifically bowtie pasta. It makes it even more fantastic. There is also almonds added in this bowtie chicken caesar salad which is also a welcoming surprise.
