Best Twisted Chicken Caesar Salad Recipes

TWISTED CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD

Twisted Chicken Caesar Salad image

I had a similar salad at Red Robin years ago. They took it off their menu, so I had to invent my own! The twist comes from the corkscrew shaped rotini pasta! (Cook time includes time to boil the pasta, but not cook the chicken) This recipe originally called for 2 T of garlic, but when I made it last it was too strong...so it depends on the strength of garlic you have on hand...start small in quantity and work up according to your taste.
