Description
A bright, crunchy salad full of savory Mediterranean flavors, featuring tender chicken, crisp vegetables, and tangy feta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather and prepare the ingredients. Dice the cooked chicken into bite-size pieces. Chop the cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion into small, even cubes. Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the pitted Kalamata olives. Crumble the feta.
- Place the chicken, cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta into a large bowl. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- No cooking is needed. Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Use a large spoon to toss everything gently so the dressing coats the chicken and vegetables without breaking up the feta too much.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve the salad immediately for maximum crunch, or cover and refrigerate for up to a few hours to let flavors meld. Give it a gentle toss before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, serve on a bed of mixed greens or in pita halves. Customize with extra lemon juice or herbs.
