Cos Salad with Radishes, Fennel, Ham, and Grapefruit

Mmmm pesto and pasta – a match made in heaven! But don’t you need basil, pine nuts, and cheese to make pesto? No way! Today we are putting a spin on traditional pesto and using 100% plant-based ingredients. Deliciously peppery wild rocket, roasted cashews, and zesty lemon create a pesto that is lighter and fresher in taste, complementing perfectly with the richness of smoked chicken in this yummy pasta salad.
