Greek Chicken Salad Bowl

This salad is the opposite of sad desk lunch. The feta, olives, and lemon dressing give it proper flavour, and the chicken keeps the protein count high. It's fresh, filling, and you'll actually look forward to eating it.

Ingredients

• 150g cooked chicken breast, diced
• 60g mixed salad leaves
• 80g cucumber, diced
• 60g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 30g red onion, thinly sliced
• 30g feta cheese, crumbled
• 6 Kalamata olives
• Dressing:
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper

Method

1. Arrange the salad leaves in a large bowl.
2. Top with diced chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta, and olives.
3. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.

Nutrition Notes

40g protein from the chicken and feta. The healthy fats from olive oil and olives help with satiety and nutrient absorption. Moderate fat content makes this better suited to a rest day or low-carb day during your cut.
