Greek Chicken Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
This Greek Chicken Salad is simple to make and uses rotisserie chicken which adds a ton of flavor and cuts down on prep time! You’re going to love this fresh and colorful salad!
Summer is approaching…eventually… and there is nothing like a fresh salad in those warmer months! This salad is my go-to salad. Its vibrant color and incredible flavor make it stand out against all the rest.
While you can certainly add any dressing you’d like, the homemade lemon vinaigrette is a tiny extra step that adds a major depth of flavor.
I think adding a hint of fresh dill would make this salad perfection. I didn’t have any on hand when I whipped this salad together, but I highly recommend chopping some dill up and adding it if you do have some.
