Hearty Pesto Chicken & Cannellini Bean Salad

Packed with creamy cannellini beans, juicy shredded chicken, sharp sliced red onion, aromatic herby pesto, bright zesty lemon juice, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and a simple balanced seasoning of salt and pepper, this versatile salad strikes the perfect sweet spot: it’s filling enough to work as a stand-alone full meal, while still feeling light and refreshing for warm weather or light lunches.

Prepping this dish takes almost no time at all: simply add all your prepped ingredients to a large mixing bowl, then stir gently until every component is evenly coated in the flavorful pesto base.

Serve the finished salad immediately with extra fresh lemon wedges on the side (for an extra squeeze of bright acidity right before eating), or cover the bowl and pop it in the refrigerator to enjoy later. This salad holds up extremely well when chilled, making it a perfect pick for advance meal prep.
