Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Rotisserie chicken
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 4 cups Baby spinach
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the chicken.
Peel and deseed the cucumber, then dice it into small cubes and add it to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add to the bowl. If the onion flavor is too strong, soak the sliced onions in cold water for 5-10 minutes and then drain before adding.
Pit and slice the Kalamata olives, adding them to the salad bowl.
Crumble the feta cheese and add it to the salad along with the baby spinach.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour to let the flavors develop.
