Greek Chicken Apple Salad

Greek Chicken Apple Salad

Ingredients

1½ cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded (grilled or rotisserie)

1 apple, chopped (Honeycrisp or Fuji for sweetness & crunch)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

Optional Add-ins (Greek-style):

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or mint

Simple Greek Dressing

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice

½ tsp dried oregano

Salt & pepper, to taste

Optional: ¼ tsp Dijon mustard (for a little tang and emulsification)

Instructions

Prep the ingredients:

Chop the apple last to prevent browning (or toss it with a bit of lemon juice). Dice or shred the chicken if not already done.

Make the dressing:

Whisk olive oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), oregano, and Dijon (if using) in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the salad:

In a large bowl, combine chicken, apple, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Add feta and olives if desired.

Dress and toss:

Pour dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes to let flavors meld
