Fresh Greek Chicken & Veggie Salad

Fresh Greek Chicken & Veggie Salad

This recipe balances lean protein with crunchy, vibrant vegetables and the tang of feta cheese.

Prep time: 15 minutes | Servings: 1 bowl


Ingredients

  • Chicken: 1 cup cooked shredded chicken breast (seasoned with salt, pepper, and a pinch of oregano).

  • Vegetables:

    • 1/2 English cucumber, sliced into rounds.

    • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved.

    • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced.

  • Cheese: 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese.

  • Garnish: 1 fresh lemon wedge (for squeezing over the top).

  • Dressing (Optional but recommended): 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, a splash of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of dried oregano, sea salt, and cracked black pepper.


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Place your shredded chicken into a medium-sized bowl.

  2. Add Veggies: Arrange the cucumber rounds, halved cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices on top of the chicken.

  3. Add the Finishers: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the top.

  4. Season: If you haven’t already, lightly drizzle the olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the salad. Add a sprinkle of cracked black pepper and a dash of oregano to taste.

  5. Serve: Place your lemon wedge on the side or right on top, just like in your photo, so you can squeeze it over right before eating.


Tips for Success

  • Make it Ahead: This stores well in the fridge, but keep the dressing and lemon juice separate until you are ready to eat to keep the cucumbers crisp.

  • Protein: If you’re short on time, a rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this.
