greek chicken salad recipe

Here's the recipe for Greek chicken salad. I make it at least a couple times a year, usually in the summer, and usually for a crowd. This recipe serves 4-6, so increase as necessary. The first time I made this, I probably followed the recipe pretty exactly - but now I just get the ingredients and throw them together until it seems right. It always tastes great ;) I usually add more olives and more feta cheese than the recipe calls for, and less mayo and parsley.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken (I usually grill chicken breasts. You can get 3 cups from 2 large breasts usually)

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1/4 cup fresh, chopped parsley

  • 2 T pitted, sliced black olives

  • 3/4 cup plain, fat-free yogurt

  • 1/2 cup light mayo

  • 1 T dried oregano

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced


Preparation Directions

  1. Combine first 5 ingredients in large bowl

  2. Combine yogurt, mayo, oregano and garlic in small bowl

  3. Pour over chicken mixture, toss well

  4. Cover & chill 2 hours

  5. Serve in pitas lined with lettuce leaves, or with croissants
