This Vegan Big Mac pasta salad is such a fun twist on two of my favorite things … burgers and pasta 🙂

If you know me, then you know I love a classic, no-frills burger and you know I love pasta. I stumbled upon the idea to make this Big Mac Pasta Salad when I wanted to make burgers for dinner one night, but we were out of buns. Of course, we had a box of noodles in the pantry and well, I’m sure you can guess what happened next. With Labor Day weekend just a few days away, this is the perfect dish to bring to any potluck or backyard BBQ!

This vegan Chick’n Caesar Pasta Salad truly is the best off both worlds! If you know me, then you know I’m obsessed with Caesar salads. If there’s a vegan Caesar salad on any menu, at any restaurant, chances are I’m ordering it. It’s also no secret that I love pasta. And the two together are seriously magical. It was one night while I was eating dinner – a Caesar salad as my starter and a bowl of pasta as my entree – that I had the brilliant idea to marry the two. And the rest is history.

Now I know I’m not the first to invent a Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad, but honestly, the thought never occurred to me until that night just a couple months ago. So here’s my vegan version, which is perfect for all your summer gatherings, by the way! The homemade breadcrumbs really take it over the top, so don’t skip ’em!
