This salad is unbelievably easy and very filling. It’s great to eat in the middle of the day on your lunch break or even for dinner when you don’t have much time to cook. I love pesto so much that I tried seeing how it would taste in salad and it did not disappoint. The protein from the pesto and turkey paired with the crunchiness of the salad makes this such a filling and satisfying dish.
