This wholesome salad contains only clean, nutritious ingredients and is packed with protein!  My Greek Chicken Salad is the perfect make ahead lunch.  I could seriously eat this everyday and be quite content.  Here’s the thing…when I eat a Greek salad, what I’m really looking for is the tomatoes, olives, and cucumbers, and not so much the lettuce.  I feel like the lettuce kind of gets in the way of all the other yummy stuff, right??  This recipe contains all my favorite good-for-you flavors, but is free of all that annoying lettuce. 😉

Chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives are coated in a tangy lowfat tzatziki dressing with just a smidge of feta for some extra saltiness…and topped with some homemade pita croutons to add a little crunch.  Croutons optional of course, but totally worth it.
