This grilled Greek chicken salad is a regular on my meal plan rotation, and for good reason.
The Mediterranean flavors are so light and fresh. Plus, it’s topped with perfectly grilled chicken and a tangy homemade Greek dressing. It’s everything a Greek salad should be!
Grilled Greek Chicken Salad Ingredients
- Greek Dressing – Olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, fresh garlic, mustard, and oregano combine to create one of my all-time favorite dressing recipes!
- Grilled Greek Chicken – Chicken breasts are seasoned with a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, ground turmeric, and dried oregano, then grilled to perfection.
- Mixed Greens – I prefer a combo of mixed greens in this Greek salad recipe, but you can use any leafy greens you have on hand.
- Tomato – Any tomatoes will do the trick in this recipe. Cherry or heirloom are my favorite varieties.
- Cucumber – Provide a fresh crunch in this salad.
- Red Onion – Adds some tang and texture.
- Kalamata Olives – A Greek salad needs olives, in my opinion! They also provide a healthy fat to make this a balanced meal.
- Pepperoncinis – Provide a little bit of heat. Feel free to omit these if you prefer.
