Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad is an easy side dish with all the flavors in a classic Caesar salad. It's lightened up and ready in less than 30 minutes and is perfect for summer potlucks, barbecues and cookouts.

• 3 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 teaspoons anchovy paste or 2 anchovy fillets (highly recommended)
