No Cook Zucchini Pesto Chicken Salad

This light, low-carb meal was created on a very hot Missouri day and therefore requires no oven, stovetop or anything else that requires heat!

Ingredients

Makes 2 servings

  • 2 zucchini, spiralized or chopped
  • 1 large tomato or 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Italian dressing
  • 1 fully cooked deli rotisserie chicken
  • 3 tbsp pesto sauce

Make it

  1. Combine zucchini, tomatoes and dressing in a large bowl; stir to coat veggies.
  2. Remove skin from breast portion of rotisserie chicken. Using a fork or your hands, pull chicken pieces in small chunks, or large chunks and cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1 1/4 cup total). Save the rest of the chicken for another meal. Put chicken pieces in a bowl and add pesto sauce. Stir to coat chicken.
  3. Divide veggie mixture evenly in 2 bowls. Top with pesto chicken. Garnish with parmesan cheese or fresh basil if wanted. Serve.
