Our easy, herby chicken salad comes together with a dressing made from just two ingredients: Greek yogurt and reduced-fat pesto. The creamy mixture coats shredded chicken breast and is served over a bed of greens and vegetables. If you’d like to prepare the salad ahead and take it to work for lunch, be sure to store the vinaigrette in a separate container and dress the greens just before eating.
