Try our Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad and Roasted Cabbage Wedges with Caesar Dressing for fun and flavorful twists on the dish many of us know and love. 01 of 10 Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad This scrumptious and healthy salad combines elements of Caesar salad, pasta salad and chicken salad for an easy weeknight dinner that comes together in less than 30 minutes (and most of the prep can be done ahead). Use your blender to whip together the tangy buttermilk-based dressing, which would also be great on a salmon or chickpea salad.

We like a mix of romaine and kale for texture and color, but you can use one or the other if you prefer. Romaine will not hold well once dressed, so we recommend making this wrap up to 1 day in advance or the leaves will get soggy. Parmesan crisps act as another crouton-like element—use store-bought crisps or make your own with our Parmesan Crisps recipe. View Recipe 03 of 10 Roasted Cabbage Wedges with Caesar Dressing Photographer: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Julia Levy, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle This delicious twist on a Caesar salad features cabbage in place of romaine lettuce. Roasting the cabbage brings out its natural sweetness, which pairs nicely with the umami-forward dressing. Keeping the wedges whole makes for a stunning presentation, but you can also chop the wedges if desired. Brushing the cabbage with a lemon-garlic oil ensures each crevice is bursting with flavor. View Recipe 04 of 10 Caesar Salad with Cashew Dressing & Tofu "Croutons" In this healthy salad recipe, blended cashews and flaxseed take the place of oil in the dressing, while seasoned tofu works as a lower-carb crouton alternative. Cashews are packed with potassium and iron, but also have more carbs than many other nuts (they have 8 grams per ounce vs. 4 grams for walnuts).

The brown-butter breadcrumbs add additional crunch and a nutty, toasted flavor. Serve with grilled chicken for an added boost of protein. View Recipe 07 of 10 Caesar Salad with Grilled Steak Jason Donnelly Traditional Caesar salad dressing uses egg yolk to make it creamy. Here we use mayo instead for the same rich results without the raw egg. View Recipe 08 of 10 Grilled Caesar Salad Jason Donnelly This grilled Caesar salad delivers all of the classic flavors of the original plus adds smoky undertones from the grill. Grilling romaine brings out its natural sweetness, and charring the lemon caramelizes the sugars to make everything just a touch sweeter.
