Ingredients

4 servings

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon prepared pesto sauce
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups finely chopped romaine lettuce
2 cups finely chopped roasted chicken
2 cups corn kernels ((see tips below))
2 cups finely chopped red cabbage
1 cup dry Israeli couscous, (cooked according to package instructions (then cooled))
1 medium red bell pepper, (finely chopped)
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup dried currants
½ cup finely chopped pecans

Steps

In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. If the dressing seems too thick, whisk in more water 1 teaspoon at a time, until you get a consistency that you're happy with. It should be creamy and thick but pourable.
In a large bowl, toss together all of the salad ingredients. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Divide the salad among 4 bowls and serve.
