Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp Greek seasoning
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Greek seasoning to make the marinade.
    Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
    Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
  • Assemble the Salad:
    Place chopped romaine lettuce in a large bowl or on a platter.
    Add diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives.
    Arrange the sliced chicken on top and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad.
  • Make the Dressing:
    Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and salt in a small bowl or jar. Mix well.
  • Finish and Serve:
    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
  • Chill the salad for 20 minutes before serving for the best experience.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but keep the dressing separate.
