Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white balsamic vinegar, Greek vinaigrette and 1 tablespoon olive oil until smooth.
- Pat the fully cooked chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dice into ½-inch pieces, then add to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat. Set aside.
- Wash and dry the produce. Halve the grape tomatoes lengthwise. Quarter the Persian cucumber lengthwise, then slice into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim and discard the root end of the baby lettuce, halve lengthwise and chop crosswise into 1-inch ribbons.
- Add the tomatoes, cucumber and lettuce to the bowl with the chicken and dressing. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the salad between serving bowls. Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For best flavor, let the dressed chicken sit for a few minutes before adding the vegetables.
If you prefer a lighter dressing, reduce the mayonnaise or substitute Greek yogurt.
Add Kalamata olives or pepperoncini for extra Greek flair.
FAQ
Can I use leftover cooked chicken instead of fully cooked chicken breasts?
Yes, you can substitute any cooked chicken, such as rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken. Just dice it into ½-inch pieces and proceed with the recipe.
What can I use instead of white balsamic vinegar?
Regular balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar can be used as a substitute. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
How should I store leftovers?
Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The lettuce may wilt, so it’s best to enjoy fresh.
