Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken served on platter.

I love eating salads in the summer, and this Greek salad with Grilled Chicken is a favourite of mine. The delicious combination of fresh vegetables, feta cheese and olives, means this healthy low-calorie Greek salad is often on my menu.

Though this isn’t an authentic Greek salad, as a true Greek salad doesn’t contain any lettuce or chicken, this salad is loaded with traditional Greek ingredients and flavours.

How to Make Grilled Chicken for Greek Salad

Only simple ingredients are needed to make this easy salad. And if you have a well-stocked refrigerator and pantry, you may already have all the ingredients needed.

The recipe for this salad is adapted from Dave Lieberman’s recipe for Greek salad with oregano marinated chicken, you can find his recipe here. The flavourful grilled chicken transforms this salad from a side dish to a main course meal.

The simple marinade used to flavour the chicken also helps to tenderize and keep the grilled chicken moist. To maximize the flavour of the grilled chicken, make sure to marinate it at least of couple of hours before you grill it. You’ll see I’ve included a bit of honey to the chicken marinade. Honey gives the chicken an added layer of flavour and a beautiful colour.

Greek Salad Dressing

A Greek salad dressing is simple to make and requires basic ingredients:

olive oil
red wine vinegar
small garlic clove
dried oregano
salt and freshly ground pepper

To make the dressing, add all of the ingredients to a medium jar. Shake the jar well and top the salad with the dressing right before serving. Store remaining dressing in the refrigerator in a sealed jar.

This salad is great served as a side dish with your choice of protein. Grilled fish, shrimp, steak or roast chicken are all great choices. Enjoy!
