What ingredients do I need to make this Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad?

• Dry rotini, penne, or any whole grain medium pasta- if you have whole grain pasta as a zero point food you may want to use a whole grain pasta to keep the recipe low in points.
• Cooked boneless skinless chicken-cut into bite sized chunks. Leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken (without skin) works great in this pasta salad.
• Romaine lettuce– chopped
• Croutons– seasoned
• Parmesan cheese- shredded 
• Course ground black pepper 
• Caesar dressing homemade or a low calorie store bought Caesar dressing– Click HERE for the homemade Skinny Caesar dressing. My favorite low calorie store bought Caesar dressings are: Bolthouse® Farms Creamy Caesar Yogurt Dressing or Wish-Bone Light Creamy Caesar dressing.
