Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups chopped lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 1 cooked Greek marinated chicken breast (8 ounces)
  • 2 cups Mediterranean tomato salad or sliced tomatoes
  • 1 cup sliced Persian or hothouse cucumber
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. If using whole tomatoes, slice them into wedges.
  2. If your chicken isn't pre-cooked, grill or sauté it until fully cooked (about 6–8 minutes per side). Let it rest before slicing into strips.
  3. In a bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped lettuce with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chicken strips.
  5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine without breaking apart the feta cheese.
  6. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
