Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water for a few minutes to cool the pasta down and stop the cooking process. Add the cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl.

Pour the Caesar dressing over the pasta and stir until all of the pasta is evenly coated.

Add the chopped lettuce and most of the parmesan cheese to the bowl. Toss everything together until well combined.

Top the salad with the remaining parmesan cheese and croutons just before serving for the best texture and crunch.

If making ahead, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Before serving, stir in a little extra Caesar dressing if needed, then add the remaining parmesan and croutons.
