Pepperoni Avocado Caesar Salad Recipes

CAESAR PASTA SALAD WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse in cold water and set aside to drain.
• Rinse, chop and spin the romaine lettuce dry using a salad spinner. If you don't have a salad spinner, pat dry with a clean towel. The dressing will coat the salad much better if the lettuce isn't wet. Transfer lettuce to a large mixing bowl. Toss in the pasta, diced avocado, and halved tomatoes.
• Add the Caesar Dressing to really boost the flavor of this salad. Toss to evenly coat the lettuce. Add the dressing to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan and croutons.

• Wash and dry lettuce, and tear into bite-sized pieces.

• Serve with the bacon, avocado, croutons, and additional Parmesan cheese.
