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!!!

Chicken Caesar Salad Baked Potato

This is the ultimate girl dinner. The other night the boys were at golf and I was on my own for dinner. We had leftover chicken cutlets in the fridge so I whipped up a chicken Caesar salad. And then I thought, why not serve it with some fries? Well I didn’t have fries but I did have potatoes so I did the next best thing. I made me a baked potato and topped that sucker with my chicken Caesar salad.  Serve with a Diet Coke to round out the meal.  Super easy, and felt indulgent!

This is a great way to use leftovers or if you’re looking for a quick family meal. Sharing my recipe below.
