Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Salad with Balsamic Dressing

Lately we have been on a search for a good chicken salad that doesn't have all of the mayo in it. I think we have finally figured one out! WAHOO!!!

This chicken salad is different than your normal run of the mill chicken salad and that's just how I like it, a little different. Homemade pitas make this so much more yummy. They are softer than your store bought pitas. The pine nuts add a light crunch and nutty flavor that goes beautifully with the basil and roasted red peppers. Oh, and the dressing? So LIGHT! I love that! Give these a try this week and let me know what you think!
