I feel like I need to spread the love and not horde this amazingly simple scrumptious creation. So, I give you my SIG-nature recipe for Chicken Tortellini Caesar Salad….though calling it a recipe is a stretch.
This meal says summer to me. This meal says, “it is too hot and I am too tired to cook”. This meal is freaking awesome!
Cut chicken meat into bite sized pieces. Set aside while you prepare rest of salad.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add cheese tortellini. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain pasta and run cold water over it until the temperature of tortellini has cooled thoroughly to at least room temperature.
In a very large bowl, tear washed Romaine lettuce into bite sized pieces. Add chicken and tortellini, gently mixing to distribute all ingredients evenly. Starting with 1/2 cup (you can add up to 1 cup) Caesar dressing, stir until all salad pieces are coated with dressing. Garnish with desired amount of shredded Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!

I loved this recipe! It fed my party of 8 adults very well with leftovers. It was so easy to assemble, I used a rotisserie chicken (only the white meat). I was able to find the dressing you recommended and all I can say is YUMMY!!

This is a really good recipe. I like making it in the summer when it’s hot and we don’t want a heavy meal. I mix up everything except the romaine the night before or in the morning and toss with the lettuce when I get home from work. Sometimes we go meat free and I add a handful of cherry tomatoes and mushrooms.

I made this for my Mother’s Day lunch. It was very easy to put together so I could spend time with my guests. I paired it with fresh fruit and cheesy garlic bread and it was wonderful. I will be making this again.
