- 1 cup cottage cheese, blended
- 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Notes
- For meal prep, blend the cottage cheese with the Caesar dressing together and store separately. Add to the salad when serving to prevent sogginess.
- Store the salad and dressing in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Use any short pasta shape you prefer such as rotini, penne, or farfalle.
- Freshly grated parmesan gives the best flavor compared to pre-shredded.
- You can use store-bought or homemade Caesar dressing.
