Pesto Chicken Salad

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I saw this recipe during Spring PAC 2013 & saved it to make at a later date. We love chicken salad & I was a woman w/a mission to lower fat content w/o sacrificing taste. Regular mayo is 80% fat & light mayo 8% fat. I made a double recipe using a combo of light mayo & 5% sour cream, which reduced the fat content further. The use of pesto (used red) made certain it did not lack flavor, but what I missed was more texture & volume. Opt adds like celery, olives or even grapes will satisfy that pers pref need for greater texture & volume. Thx for sharing this recipe certain to be the basis for our future batches of chicken salad (with adds as mentioned).
