Clean Eating || Greek Chicken Salad

Greek Chicken Salad
Yields 2-4 servings 

On the menu from this week's Commitment to Health and Fitness, a perfect summer dish! Adapted from a recipe I found on Jessica's How Sweet It Is.

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, grilled
3/4 c cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 c red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 c cucumber, chopped
1/4 c reduced fat feta cheese
5 kalamata olives. chopped
1/3 c pepperoncini peppers, chopped
1/2 c plain greek yogurt
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 gralic clove, minced
2 tbs cucumber, chopped
1 tsp fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Make the tzatziki (dressing). In a small bowl combine greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cucumber, dill, salt and pepper. Set aside or refrigetate until ready to use.
2. Cut chicken into chunks.
3. In a large bowl combine cucumber, tomato, onion, pepperoncini, olives and chicken. Add feta.
4. Add the tzatziki. I added 2 tablespoons with extra on the side to be added if desired. Mix.
5. I served about 3/4 cup salad on one slice of lightly toasted Food For Life's organic sprouted wheat bread, Ezekiel. 
6. Enjoy! 

Variations

1. Also works great with pita or as a wrap. 
2. Add spring mix.  

Note: For your convenience, downloadable recipes and menu planning tempates will be available by Saturday.

Glad the kids are back, too. 10 days are a long time!!

You're right. And if it were boring it would be so much harder to do!
