I like to use fresh grilled chicken that I grill on the stovetop or outdoor grill but any pre-cooked chicken you have on hand will work just as good.

  1. One of the most delicious salads I’ve ever had!! SO TASTY!!

  2. Family LOVED it!! Very fresh and delicious and the dressing was nice and tangy. My go to salad now.

  3. Very nice recipe especially The dressing my family loved it thank you for sharing this

  4. yum. I forgot to add the cheese but this was more than enough to feed my family kf 4 (doubled the amounts ish and added plenty more oil salt and pepper as always js required to these recipes as cooks note the minimum on online recipes I find.)

    also, while it’s a nice thought, THE CHICKEN SHOULD be freshly cooked.. the instructions here of 5MINS per side yielded moust CHARGRILLED pieces which WERE v nice. pre cooked chicken.. no way is going to be as good as stated. chick was flavoursome with the oregano and lemon garlic marinade.

    v nice meal

    also added some maple syrup to the dressing.

    not sure if the garlic is needed in the dressing (it is listed in the for dressing section) but I put it in anyway.

  5. Amazing! I had no idea that avocado and greek spices would go well together. My husband and I both love this recipe. It’s fresh, has great flavors and makes for an awesome dinner. The only thing I used way less of was salt. Thanks for sharing this!

    1. So happy you and your husband enjoyed this dish, Brittany 🙂

  6. Made this for company and got race reviews all around! It’s a new go-to at our house. I doubled it and it worked well but I think next time I won’t double THE lemon (maybe only 1.5 x).
