Tips for the Best Steak Salad:

  • Allow the steak to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after grilling before slicing.
  • Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces for the perfect chopped salad texture.
  • Slice the steak against the grain to maximize tenderness.
  • Add the dressing to the salad just before serving to prevent everything from getting saturated and wilted.

It’s pasta salad season and this Chicken Caesar Crispy Pasta salad needs to be on your menu!

The other day I was scrolling on Tik Tok looking for recipe inspiration when I came across this creator who was making a pasta salad but with crispy pasta. That’s right. She baked her pasta first! After falling in love with the crispy rice bowls, I was intrigued to give this a try.

It sounds weird but it was absolutely incredible.  I gabbed a box of farfelle, boiled it and then threw it in the oven.  Then I whipped up a chicken Caesar salad with some grilled chicken we had leftover from dinner. It adds a nice buttery crunch that is way better than any crouton! I’m sharing my chicken Caesar crispy pasta salad recipe below. Grab a crispy Diet Coke and enjoy!!!
