- Make Caesar dressing: In a bowl or using an immersion blender or food processor, combine anchovy fillets (if using), minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise or egg yolks, and grated Parmesan cheese. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while blending until emulsified. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Assemble salad: In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, shredded rotisserie chicken, and croutons. Pour the Caesar dressing over and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Serve: Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
