Caesar Pasta Salad With Greek Yogurt Caesar Dressing
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
2 anchovy fillets, mashed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1 cup uncooked shell or elbow pasta
4-5 cups chopped romaine lettuce
Grilled or rotisserie chicken, chopped or sliced
For dressing, combine Greek yogurt, anchovies, garlic, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Whisk until combined, and set dressing aside.
Fill a medium saucepan with water, and bring to a boil over high heat; add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. While pasta cools, put chopped romaine lettuce in a large bowl.
Toss cooled pasta with 1/2 cup dressing. Toss romaine with 1/2 cup dressing. Add pasta mixture and chicken to lettuce mixture, and toss to combine; serve.
