Italian Pesto Chicken Salad

This was pretty good. Used what I had available so - boneless, skinless chicken thighs, regular non-fat yoghurt and spring mix salad along with the rest of the ingredients. In making the dressing I added half as much again of pesto. I served this up as a main salad course for dinner so I threw in cucumber as well as some cooked carrots and french beans I happened to have left over. I took half the non-chicken salad ingredients and made a bed on each plate and then put the rest of the salad into the mixture with the chicken, which I then piled up in the middle. This made for a visually attractive plating and also provided some relief from what with the extra pesto had become a very rich mixture. Will dial back the pesto and use Greek yoghurt next time. Good for inclusion in the Summer rotation.

This chicken salad is delicious. Even though the dressing is made predominately from Greek Yogurt, it tastes exactly like mayo. And the Pesto flavor is amazing. This is a dish that I will make on a regular basis. It is simple to throw together and so much tastier than I expected.

This is absolutely delicious!

So delicious, a real keeper!

starting to eat healthy , looking for healthy , fresh, and bright filling meals for a diet and weight loss. the creamy yogurt and mayo with the bright tangy taste from the pesto was beautiful and rich the peppery taste from the 'rocket salad leaves' and freshen from the tomatoes was brilliant. would have this again in a heart beat.

Tasty and healthy! The pesto and lemon juice together with the low fat Greek plain yogurt made this. I am glad the recipe didn't want too much mayo. It is light and refreshing, great on a salad, on top of a halved baked potato or in a sandwich so quite versatile. Pros: Quick to make Cons: A few ingredients I had to buy
