Mediterranean Chicken Salad Recipe
August 5, 2019My Mediterranean Chicken Salad recipe is one of my favorite Mediterranean chicken recipes. An entree salad makes the best dinner when you want a light but satisfying dinner. This delicious salad with Greek-inspired ingredients is delicious, nutritious, and easy to make.
The magic of rotisserie chicken and chic ingredients like edamame, sun-dried tomatoes, mint, and feta – you can easily whip up this fresh any-season salad. However, mint is the essence of summer and fresh mint makes a difference. If you don’t have it growing rampant, check any grocery. However, if I can grow it, I bet you can too. But just a tip, grow it in pots because it really will spread all over! Instead of spinach, you can toss protein mixture with quick-cooking couscous for another great option.
