Caeser Pasta Salad

Caesar Pasta Salad – combine two favorites for one perfect summer side dish.  Caesar salad and pasta salad come together in an easy dish everyone will love!  

Today I am joining forces with Dreamfields Pasta for #PastaPalooza2016.  I participated last year and made Middle Eastern Pasta Salad.  This year, I am part of the All-American Cookout theme along with Skinny Mom and Eat Move Make. You are going to want to head over to the PastaPalooza page to get your coupon, so you can make all these recipes right away!  And while you are there, you can enter for awesome prizes.  Create your own All American Cookout Pinterest board, showing what you would serve, games you would play, decorations you would have etc. Submit the link to your Pinterest board and you could win; a $100 gift card, a picnic basket, and a family pack of Dreamfield pasta.  And a grand prize of a one year supply of Dreamfields pasta and a $1000 VISA gift card!  You can even enter one time per day. Kind of really sad I can’t enter!

When I think of summer and cookouts, I think of  few things.  Pasta salad is what I make for pretty much every get-together in the summer.  And Caesar salad is one of my husband’s favorite things to have for dinner in the summer.  So I combined the two and made a delicious pasta salad that will disappear so quickly at your get together. You can make this Caesar pasta salad ahead of time, and then just add the dressing before you serve it.

To make this Caesar pasta salad a little better for you I used yogurt to make the dressing.  You can use Greek yogurt if you want to bump up the protein even more. Dreamfields pasta has 5 grams of fiber per 1 cup of cooked pasta.  So it is something you can feel a little better about eating.  Along with the veggies and the homemade Caesar dressing, you can feel good about the side dishes and your next cookout. So be sure to head over to Dreamfields and get your hands on a coupon, so you can make this pasta salad right away!
