When making a Greek chicken salad, you need fresh and simple ingredients. The star of this dish is the chicken. I recommend using grilled chicken breasts for the best flavor. Grilling adds a nice char and smoky taste. You can also season the chicken with herbs like oregano. This extra step brings out more taste.

Ingredients
  

2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 teaspoon dried oregano

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Start by marinating the grilled chicken breasts. Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and coat the chicken. Let it rest for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    In a large bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce and top it with the diced cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes.

      Next, add the sliced red onion and Kalamata olives to the salad.

        Once the chicken is ready, slice it into strips and place it on top of the salad.

          Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the entire salad for a creamy touch.

            In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and red wine vinegar (or lemon juice) to create a simple dressing, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.

              Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and gently toss to combine all ingredients.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the salad in a large wooden bowl or individual plates. Garnish with a few extra olives and a sprinkle of feta cheese on top. For added color, place a few sprigs of fresh parsley around the salad. Enjoy!
