PESTO CHICKEN SALAD



Pesto Chicken Salad image

I love this chicken salad because it is lighter than the traditional kind and the flavor from the pesto just takes it a whole other level of deliciousness. I use this salad to make healthy wraps with Light Flatout Bread, low fat cheese, lettuce, red onion, and tomato.

PESTO CHICKEN SALAD



Pesto Chicken Salad image

This is a beautiful fresh salad from "Great Fast Recipes" by the Australian Womens' Weekly. You can substitute mixed lettuce leaves or cos lettuce for the rocket. It's a perfect make ahead recipe - you can do most of it hours ahead - prepare the pesto mixture, brush it over the chicken pieces and tomatoes, put the rocket into a serving bowl - and just refrigerate until ready to cook. Goes brilliantly with spiced potato wedges!
