Lemon and Herb Chicken Salad with Basil and Butter Beans

  • Carb-Conscious
  • Fast

This emerald-hued salad is a veritable gem of good for you-ness. There's nothing naughty about it. It's green with broccoli and leaves, lean with chicken and beans, and it gets tossed with a lovely mustard-y, olive oil dressing. Smugness is entirely justified.
