Background

I always bake/roast more chicken than I need for just one meal because the leftover can be used for other, quick & easy meals later in the week. This Greek salad with chicken is a perfect example - ready in just 10 minutes, yummy, healthy and filling. Ideal for lunch, light supper or even a picnic.

Ingredients

1 cup grilled/roasted chicken chunks
½ cucumber
1 handful of cherry tomatoes or 3 ripe tomatoes
1 handful jarred black olives, pitted and sliced
6 spring onions or 1 small red onion, chopped
½ Romano red or yellow pepper (optional)
3 Tbsp olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
50g feta cheese
1 Tbsp chopped mint
1 Tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

Cut the cucumber half vertically and scoop out the seeds. Cut the flesh into half- moon shapes and put these in a large serving dish.
Cut the tomatoes in half, slice the olives and spring onion/onion, and chop the red pepper, if used. Add all to the cucumber.
Add the chicken pieces (the chunks should be bite-sized).
Mix the olive oil with the lemon juice and pour over the salad. Crumble the feta over it, and add the chopped herbs. Toss, season to taste and serve.
