About Pesto chicken salad

Pesto Chicken Salad is a flavorful, protein-packed dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. This salad features tender grilled chicken breast tossed with a vibrant pesto dressing made from fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. It's complemented by a mix of crisp baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers, offering a refreshing crunch and a burst of nutrients. Some variations add red onion, avocado, or feta for extra texture and flavor. Rich in lean protein, heart-healthy fats, and antioxidants, it's a wholesome option for those seeking a balanced meal. While the pesto adds incredible flavor, its high-calorie content from oil and cheese makes portion control important if you're watching your intake. Serve it on its own, or pair it with whole-grain bread for a complete yet satisfying dish.
