Background
If you have leftover roast chicken, you can make wonderful simple, quick & easy dishes. This zesty, Greek-style chicken, avocado and feta salad is a perfect example - ready in a few minute, it can be prepared in advance of eating and it travels well - so it's perfect for summer parties, picnics and lazy lunches (or light suppers). Serve it with toasted pitta or other crusty bread.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of shredded leftover roasted chicken
- 1 head of romaine lettuce
- 1 handful of cherry tomatoes or 2 ripe tomatoes
- 3 spring onions
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice, plus extra for squeezing
- 100g feta cheese
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp black or kalamata olives (pitted)
Instructions
- Trim the base of the lettuce, then wash and dry the leaves and cut them thinly.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half (the larger ones into wedges).
- Finely slice the spring onions. Cut the avocados in half (lengthwise), remove the stone, peel and dice the flesh. Squeeze some lemon juice over it.
- Dice the feta and sprinkle some dried oregano over the cubes.
- Finely chop the mint and the parsley.
- Whisk the lemon juice with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
- Put the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and spring onion in a large serving bowl, then toss with the dressing. Gently fold in the avocado pieces, olives and feta cubes.
