Ingredients

1/4 cup red wine vinegar (60g)
1/4 cup olive oil (60g)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (60g) ~2 lemons
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt

Chopped Greek Salad:

10 oz. romaine lettuce finely shredded ~2 heads
1 cup cherry tomatoes (150g) halved
4 oz. feta cubed cubed
1 cup cucumber (150g) diced
1/2 cup red onion (180g) finely diced
1/2 cup sliced kalamata olives (67g)
1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
To make into a meal: 24-oz. cooked chicken see notes

Instructions

Whisk the Greek vinaigrette ingredients together and set aside.
To a large bowl or salad spinner add all the ingredients and toss to combine. You can go ahead and toss with the Greek vinaigrette if you’re serving for a crowd, or store in a separate container to drizzle with when ready (salad will stay fresher longer this way).
Serve as a side or add chicken or another protein to make a complete meal.

Notes

Side option = vegetarian option.

*Nutrition below is without the chicken (vegetarian/side option) and includes 2 Tbsp of Greek vinaigrette (30g).

To make vegan: use dairy-free feta cheese.

Chicken: For an easy balanced meal I love mixing in some chicken! Target’s shredded rotisserie seasoned chicken and grilled chicken strips are great quality and super convenient when I need something QUICK. If you’re up for making something, Gyro Chicken or Greek Chicken Bites would be perfect for this!
