Greek Chicken Salad Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 large cucumber seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 avocado diced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mini sweet peppers thinly sliced (or 1 bell pepper, diced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley chopped
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce or mixed greens chopped

For the Dressing

Instructions

  • Make the Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice/zest, garlic, oregano, mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Prepare the Chicken: If using raw chicken, season and grill or bake, then shred or dice. Rotisserie chicken works as a shortcut.
  • Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine greens, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, onion, peppers, and herbs. Add chicken and toss.
  • Dress and Finish: Pour dressing over salad, toss to coat. Gently fold in feta and avocado.
  • Serve: Arrange on a platter or in bowls. Garnish with extra herbs, olive oil, and a sprinkle of oregano.
