Souvlaki Salad

This is a great salad to serve as a main dish in the summer time.


The first step is to marinate the chicken. Using about 4 chicken breasts, I add 1/3 cup lemon juice, 2 Tb. olive oil, 4 cloves garlic, minced, 2 Tb. dried oregano and salt and pepper. Let this marinate for at least a day. This is an easy marinade and the chicken is delicious! At times, I have put the marinade into bags of chicken (as above) and put them in the freezer. Then, when you want chicken, all you have to do is let the chicken thaw in the fridge.

Ready to marinate in the fridge or freezer

Grill over medium heat until heated through (and no pink remains)
While chicken is cooking, prepare the salad:
Salad greens
Yellow Peppers
Green Onions
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Crumbled Feta Cheese
Olives (optional)
When the chicken is cooked, cut up into pieces and add to salad.
Dressing: serve with a greek dressing (store bought or homemade)
