This Greek Avocado Chicken Salad is a fresh, vibrant, and healthy main course perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

This no-cook Mediterranean-inspired salad is quick to prepare, gluten-free, low carb, and bursting with flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or chopped)
  • 1 ripe avocado (diced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cucumber (diced)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Dressing Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded or chopped cooked chicken breast, diced ripe avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, sliced Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley. Gently mix to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Whisk until all ingredients are well blended and emulsified.
  3. Toss Salad with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to combine, taking care not to mash the avocado and maintaining the freshness of the components.
  4. Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together for a more developed taste experience.

Notes

  • Great as a light lunch or served in lettuce wraps or pita bread for a heartier meal.
  • Using rotisserie chicken can save preparation time and adds convenient flavor.
  • Add chopped spinach or arugula to boost the greens and nutritional value.
