Herby Feta Chicken Greek Salad

Fresh, crispy, crunchy, and flavor packed, this is my favorite way to make Greek salad! It’s built on the best produce summer has to offer and makes getting in those veggies a delicious experience. I like to add some grilled or seared chicken on top for some muscle building, high quality protein too.

The best part of this recipe is the herby feta dressing that coats everything in bright, amazing flavor. Usually Greek salad will have feta crumbled or sliced on top of everything. But, I like to add it into the dressing so every bite of this salad gives you some salty and funky feta this style of salad is so well known for highlighting.

Have this summery dish with energizing carbs like some crusty bread or fresh flat bread on the side. Or, toss some chickpeas into the salad itself! You can swap out the chicken for another protein of your choice like grilled fish or tofu. This is a great recipe for customizing based on your own preferences and nutrition needs. Hope you enjoy!
