03 - Combine Romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese in a large salad bowl.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until blended.

06 - Divide salad among four bowls. Top each with sliced grilled chicken. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like summer even if you're cooking in the middle of winter.
  • The juicy grilled chicken pairs perfectly with feta and crisp veggies for a nourishing bowl that never feels heavy.
02 -
  • If you don't let the chicken rest after grilling, the slices turn out dry and missing that juicy finish.
  • Soaking sliced onions for a few minutes in cold water minimizes sharpness—it makes each bite pleasantly mellow.
03 -
  • Letting the salad rest for five minutes after tossing allows the flavors to mingle beautifully before serving.
  • Grilling over medium-high heat ensures juicy, golden chicken without burning the marinade.
