++ This is an Oldie But Goodie. And since outdoor dining season is once again upon us, I wanted to share this recipe again. Enjoy!

This Creamy Caesar Pasta Salad is always a hit! Be sure to make a lot, because there'll be people coming back for seconds... and even thirds!
I know this isn’t a traditional Caesar Salad dressing but it’s not a good idea to eat raw eggs.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (12 oz.) box Farfalle (bowtie) pasta, cooked according to directions – drained and cooled.
Caesar Salad Dressing Ingredients
-
1 Tbs. olive oil
-
1 tsp. salt
-
6 Tbs. mayonnaise
-
2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
-
1/3 freshly grated Parmesan
-
1 Tbs. olive oil
-
1 Tbs. milk
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1/2 tsp. salt
-
1/2 tsp. pepper
Salad Ingredients
-
1 (5 oz.) bag spinach/arugula mix This is the first time I’ve found this mixture. Otherwise, purchase spinach and mix with equal parts arugula.
-
1 (6 oz.) jar brined, PITTED Kalamata olive – drained
-
1 (12 oz.) jar marinated artichoke hearts – drained and cut into bite-size pieces
-
1/3 cup chopped red onion
METHOD
Cook Farfalle (bowtie) pasta according to package directions but add 1 Tbs. olive oil and 1 tsp. salt to cooking water. I recommend covering cooked, drained pasta once or twice with cold water to eliminate any heat.
In a small bowl whisk together 6 Tbs. mayonnaise, 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice, 1/3 freshly grated Parmesan, 1 Tbs. olive oil, 1 Tbs. milk, 1 clove garlic, minced, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Set aside.
Place 1 (5 oz.) bag spinach/arugula mix, 1 (6 oz.) jar brined, PITTED Kalamata olive – drained, 1 (12 oz.) jar marinated artichoke hearts – drained and 1/3 cup chopped red onion in a large salad bowl.
Add cooled cooked pasta. Mix pasta with greens. Pour the Caesar Dressing over all and mix to cover all your salad ingredients. And that’s all there is to it – your Spinach-Arugula Pasta Caesar Salad is ready. ENJOY!!
bon appetit
