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!

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!
