Pesto Chicken Salad — Herby, Bright, and Nut-Free
Marinated grilled chicken, house-made nut-free basil pesto, whipped burrata, marinated cherry tomatoes, roasted broccoli, and mixed greens.
Sandwell's Pesto Chicken Salad takes the same flavors that make our Chicken Pesto Burrata sub such a star favorite and rebuilds them in salad form — lighter, brighter, but still plenty substantial. Marinated grilled chicken (baked, never fried), tossed with nut-free basil pesto, house-whipped burrata, marinated cherry tomatoes, roasted broccoli, and tender mixed greens. It's a salad that hits the Italian comfort-food notes without the bread — hearty, fresh, and deeply flavorful.
The pesto is herby and bright, clinging to every ingredient without weighing the salad down. The house-whipped burrata brings light, creamy richness that melts into the pesto. Roasted broccoli adds caramelized depth. Marinated cherry tomatoes bring acidic pop. And the grilled chicken delivers real protein and real flavor — marinated in-house, not an afterthought. Every layer scratch-made, every ingredient earning its spot.
Whether you're lightening up a pesto craving on the Upper West Side, grabbing a protein-packed lunch in Gramercy, or you just want a salad that eats like something a chef actually designed — the Pesto Chicken Salad is the call. Try the Chicken Pesto Burrata Sub if you want the same flavors handheld. Order online for pickup or delivery at getsandwell.com/order.
“The salads are wonderful , crispy lettuce , chicken is tasteful and has cheese sprinkled on top with baby tomatoes and a pesto sauce. Their bread is homemade …the oatmeal cookies are big but not too oversized with a wonderful crunch to it. Enjoyed immensely ! Will return and my fellow employees all go there too” - Susan A
