· Place the romaine in a large bowl and toss with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of the caesar dressing. Add in the finely grated parmesan. Toss the lettuce well so everything is coated. Add in the cooked pasta and toss it well, adding more dressing if you would like. Toss until everything is combined and well coated.

With the processor still on, stream in the olive oil until a creamy dressing forms.

Dinner
BBQ Chicken Air Fryer
Ingredients
Chicken wings: 12 wings
Seasonings: In order to make flavorful wings, coat them with a delicious blend of smoked paprika, Italian Seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, nature seasoning
Baking Powder: Not to be mistaken for baking soda, baking powder dries out the skin of the chicken wings which results in an extra crispy coating.
BBQ sauce: Use your preferred barbecue sauce garnish: basil

Directions
1. Before cooking, clean and pat your chicken wings dry with a paper towel. Ensure the wings are dry because dry wings will absorb the seasonings better. Add the chicken to a large bowl with the seasonings and baking powder. Make sure all the wings are coated in the seasoning.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes.
3. Then lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Place the chicken in a single layer into the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or place chicken on top of each other because that can result in the chicken not cooking evenly or crisply.
4. Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes. Then, flip the chicken and cook for another 7-10 minutes, until no longer pink and an instant thermometer reads 165°F. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches so that the wings are not overcrowded.
5. After that, transfer the chicken wings to a {clean} large bowl. Then, pour ⅔ cups of barbecue sauce onto the wings and mix until all the wings are coated.
6. Next place the chicken coated in barbecue sauce back into the air fryer and heat for an additional 3-5 minutes at 350°F.
7. Serve immediately. OR, if you want extra saucy wings, place the wings back into the bowl and top with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce.
8. Finally, enjoy!
