I used the Mediterranean Delicacies Coriander Pesto while preparing this smoked chicken salad with a mayo & mustard dressing a few weeks ago. A great pesto uses coriander, chillies and sesame oil and this has it all! Following the weather we had over the weekend, it’s probably not the best of timing to post a salad that is perfect for the summer – but maybe it will make us long for warmer days ahead. The coriander pesto adds plenty of flavour to the smoked chicken while the dressing gives the salad a light & creamy touch. I hope you enjoy!
