Greek Yogurt Dill Caesar Pasta Salad
- FOR THE DRESSING:
- 7 ounces, weight Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 whole Lemon, Zest And Half The Juice
- 2 teaspoons Anchovy Paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Dill
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 3 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Plus More If Needed
- Salt To Taste
- FOR THE SALAD:
- 4 cups Chopped Romaine Lettuce
- 3 cups Leftover Cooked Short Pasta
- 2 whole Chicken Breasts, Cooked Anyway You Like And Sliced
- 1/4 cups Toasted, Chopped Almonds
- 1/4 cups Sliced Green Onions
- 1/2 cups Halved Cherry Tomatoes
- 1/2 cups Chopped Cucumber
- For the dressing, combine yogurt, lemon zest and lemon juice, anchovy paste, Worcestershire sauce, dill, garlic, Parmesan, and olive oil. Stir together until smooth and creamy. Taste, and add a little more olive oil if you'd like a thinner dressing, lemon juice for more tang, and salt to taste. If the dressing tastes very tart from the yogurt, you might need a little more salt than you think.
- For the salad, toss all the ingredients together with about 1/2 cup of the dressing. Taste the salad and add salt, pepper, or more dressing. Serve immediately. Devour!
- Notes:
- 1. Mix up the ingredients in this salad and it'll be different each time!
- 2. To pan-sear chicken, I heat a nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons butter to medium heat. When the butter foams and browns slightly, add the chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side (the chicken should sizzle a lot, turn the heat up if it doesn't), and remove when browned and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice. Keep the chicken in any juices it releases until you're ready to serve.
- 3. This will make almost 2 cups of dressing, so save the rest for salads or dipping veggies.
