Kittencal's Caesar-Chicken Pasta Salad

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

I use the dressing from my Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad but you may of coarse your own favorite dressing, fresh grated parmesan may be substituted for the feta if desired, the croutons are optional you may add in or omit --- the amounts listed are really only a guideline I don't even bother to measure when I prepare this salad so adjust all amounts to suit taste --- if you are not serving immediately then add in the lettuce just before serving :)

Delish! I had some extra dressing left from Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad and I didn't want to waste it, so I made this pasta salad. I had to use canned tomatoes because of off season and I added cucumbers. I will also add more feta cheese next time.
