Greek Chicken Salad is tangy, crunchy, and full of wonderful Mediterranean-inspired flavor! It's simple to throw together, packed with amazing flavors, and full of great nutrients.

It's a quick and healthy option for any time of the week! And, don't sleep on the lemon feta dressing. This super simple recipe is like having a wonderful chicken gyro, but in a salad form! It's just amazing and one of my all-time favorites!

Pull Up A Chair and Let's Chat!

This salad hits all the marks for me. It's full of great, tangy Greek and Mediterranean flavor, it has a ton of crunchy things that I love, and it has a dressing that will knock your socks off. Not only all of those lovely things, but my Greek Chicken Salad is super easy to throw together. And, it's good for you! Winner winner chicken salad dinner. Ok. I'm done.

Whether you need a good weekly meal prep salad idea or just a quick dinner to throw together, this Greek Chicken Salad recipe is for you.

Speak Softly and Carry A Sharp Knife

There isn't much to making this Greek Chicken Salad recipe. You'll shred your chicken and chop your veggies. The lemon feta dressing just needs a quick whisk. There just isn't much to do here, so I won't go on and on about why my third cousin twice removed liked chocolate chip cookies. You know what I'm saying?

However, I will always tell you to make sure you have a sharp knife. It seems a ludicrous reminder, but for real. A dull knife is one of the quickest ways to the emergency room.

Anytime you're about to embark on a big salad recipe, take the time to sharpen that knife. I want you to keep alllll those digits in place!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this recipe gluten-free and/or dairy-free?

This Greek Chicken Salad recipe is absolutely gluten-free. There is no need to make any substitutions for that dietary requirement.

The lemon feta dressing, however, does contain dairy. Substitute the greek yogurt with your favorite non-dairy, unflavored yogurt. For the cheese, a little nutritional yeast would be a great option!

I don't have fresh chives or dill. Can I use dried herbs instead?

Absolutely! Just swap the fresh herbs for dried and reduce the amounts to your taste. Dried herbs can be a bit stronger than fresh.

What could I serve along with this Greek Chicken Salad?

When thinking about an accompaniment for a salad, I always think bread. I have a couple of bread recipes that would be the perfect thing to go with this salad.
No Knead Bread
Garlic Knots
Savory Monkey Bread

Tips, Tricks, and Variations

  • Use your favorite protein if you're not feeling chicken. Everything from grilled steak to leftover roasted pork tenderloin and even grilled shrimp would be fantastic in this salad!
  • Use whatever veggies you like. This is a fantastic fridge clean out salad. Anything from bell peppers to mushrooms and pickles work here. Use what you love and what you have on hand.
  • Use this recipe a weekly meal prep idea. Portion out the salad into bento or meal prep containers. Store the dressing in small salad dressing containers and you'll have lunch ready for the week!
