Easy Greek Salad

Greek Salad is one of my all time favourite meals, I love it. I usually top mine with shrimp, but when recommending it to friends my go to protein topping is chicken.
This makes about 3 lunches with a full chicken breast or 5 - 6 with smaller portions. 
Easy Greek Salad with Chicken:
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 2 heads of lettuce, bitter head ie Bibb or Boston, red lettuce or iceberg or a combination 
  • 1 red/green pepper
  • 1/2  medium red onion
  • Optional - cherry tomatoes (I do not like raw tomatoes so these never make it into mine)
  •  for the dressing
    • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
    • 1 lemon, juiced (or 3 tbsp of lemon juice)

Recipe:
  • Preheat your oven to 400 F, season your chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano
