🌿 Elle’s Creamy Chicken & Feta Pesto Salad πŸ₯—


Wow, wow, WOW! 😍 This was so amazing I had to jump on here and type it up right away — not only to share with you but so I don’t forget it myself!

This Chicken Feta Salad is creamy, flavorful, and fresh — the kind of dish that feels like sunshine in a bowl ☀️. You can enjoy it in so many ways: piled high on a crusty slice of bread πŸ₯–, spooned over a bed of greens πŸ₯¬, or (if you’re like me) straight from the bowl with a fork. YUM! πŸ˜‹
