Pesto Vinaigrette Recipe + Chicken Beet Salad

Pesto Vinaigrette - a delicious, tangy yet sweet salad dressing. This 21 day fix approved vinaigrette is a favorite homemade salad vinaigrette recipe.

I love making vinaigrettes, and this pesto vinaigrette is one of my favorites. I’m a fan of salad dressings that are zesty and tangy and this fits the bill, with a hint of sweet from the addition of honey.

I made this pesto vinaigrette for the Pesto Pasta Salad recipe, but when I sampled it on a chicken, feta, and beet salad it was heaven. Since then I’ve made two batches in two weeks.

You guys, it’s so good.

I used two teaspoons of honey in the recipe, but if you like sweet vinaigrettes feel free to add more.

This salad is so good: baby spinach, grilled chicken, feta, sundried tomatoes, and beets. All tossed in a Pesto Vinaigrette. A delicious lunch or dinner recipe that's 21 Day Fix approved.

Let’s talk a little more about this salad. I don’t post salads on the blog often because I tend to toss random ingredients together in a bowl for lunch, but this deserves a little bit of recognition. This salad used baby spinach leaves, grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes (I use julienne cut in olive oil), feta, and roasted beets. Toss with the pesto vinaigrette and it’s money.

    Love this recipe, which I’ll make again and again. I made it tonight with what I had on hand (kale and walnuts) and I couldn’t believe how quickly in came together and how wonderful the flavor is. I’m excited to start experimenting with nut and herb combinations.

    This ended up with a very bitter taste. I added more lemon juice and even some honey to try to balance it out, but something was still off. Any thoughts on what could have caused that or how I could have better fixed the problem?
