I tried this with the required Suddenly Salad variety - snapped up a box as soon as I saw it. I omitted the olives but it was excellent regardless. I may have been a little liberal with the feta but the pesto balanced it out nicely.

I make this with a rotisserie chicken from my local grocery store, couldn't find the pesto one so I used the greek one, I use kalmata olive instead of the can black olives and it gives it a great added flavor!!! My picky 7 year old son LOVES it!!!!

I couldn't find the pesto basil one either but they had a limited edition Greek one that is delicious! I will definitely make this one again. It's exactly the kind of dish I need for when I take my lunch to work.
