Description
A Mediterranean protein-packed lunch with marinated chicken, crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and a zesty olive oil dressing. Quick and easy to prepare in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
4 marinated grilled chicken breasts (pre-cooked), chilled
4 cups mixed lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
1 small cucumber, sliced
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large salad bowl, combine mixed lettuce, diced tomato, sliced cucumber, pitted Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to evenly coat the ingredients.
Add the chilled grilled chicken breasts to the bowl and gently mix to distribute the dressing.
Adjust seasoning to taste if desired.
Serve the Greek chicken salad chilled or at room temperature in serving bowls.
Notes
For best results, use chilled marinated chicken and assemble just before serving.
You can substitute grape or halved cherry tomatoes for a juicier component.
Prep the salad without chicken ahead of time and add the chicken just before serving to keep it fresher.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooled before adding to the salad to prevent sogginess.
