Chickpea, Pesto, Tomato & Mozzarella Salad




So now that the weather is getting nicer I am getting excited for some delicious cold salads for lunch. As much as I would love to eat pasta salad every day (because pasta DUH) I have looked for some healthy options outside of a boring grilled chicken salad. This one here is my favorite that is full of lots of protein!
