Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
Two of my favorite classics - chicken caesar salad and cold pasta salad. I decided to marry the two and create Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad. What more could you want out of life? This recipe is super easy to make and bursting with flavor.
I have always been a big fan of creamy caesar dressing and you know my love runs deep for Primal Kitchen products. I have been using Primal Kitchen's Caesar Dressing for a while now. It's made with avocado oil, organic eggs, organic apple cider vinegar and organic herbs and spices.
