Salad Ingredients

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast (cooked and diced)
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (grape tomatoes work too)
1 cup diced cucumber (peeled or unpeeled)
1 cup diced red onion
½ cup sliced Kalamata olives
½ cup feta cheese crumbles
¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Dressing Ingredients

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 large garlic clove (pressed or minced)
1 tsp. dried oregano
salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Gather and measure all your ingredients.
Cook the chicken breast if not already cooked. You can poach, grill, or bake it with a little salt and pepper. Once cooked, let it cool and then shred or dice it.
Note that if your chicken isn't already cooked, you will need to add this time to the total time it takes to make this recipe listed in the recipe card below.
In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, Kalamata olives, feta crumbles, cooked and diced chicken, and fresh parsley.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until well-coated.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a bit to let the flavors meld. This salad is great served chilled.
