Spinach Basil Chicken Salad

For all the StrollerFit Moms looking for a new Pesto or a new Chicken Salad.

Spinach Pesto
2 cups packed baby spinach
1 clove of garlic
1/8 to a quarter cup of olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

blend the spinach and garlic in a food processor, until finely chopped, with the machine running, drizzle in olive oil, (recipe says 1/4 cup, I only used 1/8 cup and it was enough for me) until well blended, turn off and mix in salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese.

This is great over Pasta

Pesto Chicken Salad
1 tsp of lemon zest
2 rotisserie chicken breast off the bone, chopped (remove or leave the skin, Recipe says leave it, I removed it)
1/8 cup lite mayo

mix chicken, lemon zest and mayo, add pesto from above recipe.

serve in a pita or on a sandwich thin with fresh baby spinach and tomatoes.

Great low point lunch for my Weight Watchers.
