AVOCADO-PESTO CHICKEN SALAD

This is a great way to use up some of the Basil-Pecan Pesto that we just made. It makes the chicken taste so yummy, and pesto (with the good fat of extra-virgin olive oil) takes the place of some of the bad fat (mayo), so it's healthier.

And it's easy......Just put some pesto in a bowl. Add some avocado and a squirt of lime or lemon juice and mash it in. Stir in some mayo (preferably lite). Now mix in your shredded chicken. You can eat this as is or make a sandwich with it. Try this, because it's really good and good for you.

It is rich in nutrients and is excellent as conditioner and makes one’s locks lustrous and smooth, it helps to get rid of the frizz from hair, also helps preventing hair loss and its nutrients helps for good hair growth.
