- 2 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 ½ cups shredded parmesan

- ½ - ¾ cup Caesar dressing
Instructions
- Add cooked pasta, ¾ of the tenders, croutons, pepper, and shredded Parmesan to a large bowl. Mix well.
- Add the lettuce and fold in until well combined.
- Top with as much dressing as you prefer (I used ½ cup), and fold in until well combined.
