Ingredients

  • 12 oz uncooked pasta (I used Cavatappi)
  • 6 slices center cut bacon (I use Oscar Mayer)
  • 12 oz cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast chopped
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes (I quartered mine)
  • 1 oz Parmesan cheese shredded
  • ⅔ cup light Caesar dressing (I use Marzetti Simply Creamy Caesar)
  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain. Rinse the pasta in a colander under cold water until the pasta is cooled and drain. Transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl.
  • While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon according to package directions and drain on paper towels. Chop or crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  • Add the bacon, chicken, romaine, tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese to the mixing bowl with the pasta and stir to combine.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the Caesar dressing, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper and stir until well combined. Pour the dressing over the ingredients in the large mixing bowl and stir until well coated. Chill until serving.
