Creamy Caesar Spinach Pasta Salad

Submitted by David Harris

"Nice tasting, easy to make pasta salad perfect for potluck dinners. Very flexible - you can add green onions, red onions, olives, croutons, or meats (salami, pepperoni, chicken) to dress it up. Add/reduce spinach to make it more of a salad or more of a pasta dish."
